Facebook Buys a Private File Sharing Service
angry tapir writes "Facebook has purchased most of drop.io, an online content-sharing service, but the social-networking giant sounds more interested in acquiring the company's developers than its technology. Drop.io is a service that lets users create a 'drop' where they can share documents, videos and other digital content. The user can set a time for how long the drop will exist, decide who can view the content, set permissions for who can alter the content and share content in a variety of ways, including on Facebook."
Why the hell they buy external expertise... if there is one firm that is really obnoxious good in sharing, it's facebook. It's their damn business model and there is a market for it apparently. Now excuse me, I need to check on my friends.
The health care "reform" was designed to MAKE you a serf. But you won't realize this until you can't move under the chains. Fortunately most of the country has realized this and will say so on Tuesday.
