But I consider the revenue model for products like XinXii (german service) more meaningful than DocStoc: uploads for free, downloads must be purchased - price established by author.

A quick search on Scribd and a couple downloads later, I had a few templates to check out. Competition is always good so DocStoc should definitely result in better products for both. I am a little concerned about small businesses sharing documents. I certainly know that there are lots of documents I would NOT want to put on the web for my business. In the past I have put my presentations from conferences up on Scribd and intend to upload whitepapers. I love Scribd and recently wanted to look at different business plan outlines.
