I chose to explore DocStoc. It is an online community and marketplace to find and share professional documents. Many of the documents are free to download, but some do have to be purchased. You can also sell your own professional documents. The site also provides technology through APIs and Widgets to facilitate the sharing and promotion of documents across the web. This could be a useful site when doing research and you are specifically looking for professional documents. It also allows you to embed documents in your blogs and other mainstream media. The advantages are that you have access to a large collection of information. A disadvantage is that you might have to pay for some of it. It's a very interesting site.
