I learned about DocStoc from Richard Byrne's blog, FreeTech4Teachers, in his post 7 Visually Appealing Ways to Post Documents Online.  What I liked the most was that it offered the ability to embed documents to websites so that people can view them without having to download them.  Of course, there is a download option for those who do want to keep a copy.  I first used DocStoc to post my classroom syllabus on my class website, and then I started to go a little crazy with embedded documents.  The downside is that, if you get as excited as I did with your embedding, your website can become cluttered and difficult to navigate, so I recommend using DocStoc sparingly.  This would be great for classroom newsletters or for publishing student writing online.  Another thing that makes DocStoc so wonderful is that you don't have to worry about the person viewing the document having the same version of software as you.
