I'm a co-founder at crocodoc, and would be interested to hear your reasoning behind your "will sell, but will not have too many users" comment. It sounds like you have a specific niche market in mind that you think crocodoc will gain traction in to the exclusion of others?

It's just difficult to explain, innit? I'm trying to imagine explaining exactly what crocodoc is to the misses and it's unclear. Usually, when there is this lack of clarity, it will tend to appeal to geeks or people who already want something like that, and not just everyone.

That's what I mean - it will be big within the crowd of people who take time to understand it, but the other people just won't get it.
