random thoughs on reality & non

Dropbox is a lovely service, which i discovered when it was invite only back then. It turned out even better and it's probably no.1 service of this kind.

I love it for several things:
-it's cross platform, you can't say that about live mesh (or live sync), zumodrive, many others
-it's light on system resources
-referrals! which give you up to 8 gigs of extra space, and 250mb for invited user, whoa! compare this to box.net which still offers 1gb for free accounts
-simple web interface, jeez how i hate fancy schmancy web file managers for clouds, dropbox doesn't fall for that
-folder sharing, probably the easiest way to callaborate & send files to friends
-fast servers, i mean really fast
-frequent beta builds (they work like they were stable for me)
-community

Things to work on:
-streaming, but i suspect that wouldn't be too forgiving for the servers, but maybe in the future, with better technology.... ?
-file viewer (doc,pdf, etc)
-API (to integrate dropbox with application w/out having to install it, think portable apps on public computers)

The whats:
This will be dedicated to various aspects of not only real life but also related to computers & the like. Something to keep me busy & not thinking about... stuff

The whys:
I've used tumblr, i've used soup.io, don't get me wrong, they're cool, but they don't have support for running more than one blog with the same login, or at least it's not easy to spot. Posterous solves this problem, and it's even hotter now with new themes.

ps. Posterous rule!
