Quick Pitch: DokDok enhances your inbox to make it easy to find, work on and share the latest version of any document.
Genius Idea: Even with threaded conversations and online document collaboration, finding and managing the right version of an attachment can be frustrating, to say the least. DokDok's makers think it should be easy for you to verify that the attachment you're working on or searching for is the most recent version.
You should also be able to track any changes to that document and share it with others, all without disrupting the workflow of a normal business.
It might be good at the outset to tell you what DokDok isn't. It's not for file sharing, cloud storage, multi-device syncing, enterprise document management or e-mail, itself. It's just a tool to make your inbox a happier place to be.
DokDok gives Google Apps users -- mostly small and medium-sized businesses -- a one-click solution for verifying the version of an attachment. You'll be able to see similar attachments from your inbox listed along with the attachments for the message you're reading. It will also collect and archive the documents that are scattered all around your inbox. Best of all, you don't have to convice all your friends, coworkers and colleagues to start using a new document editing system or e-mail client.
Here's a quick demo:
The product is currently free; premium pricing options might be introduced in the future.
What do you think: Is DokDok simple enough and useful enough to make it worth using on a daily or weekly basis? Let us know what you think -- and how DokDok can improve -- in the comments.
