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."

Re:Feudalism and the new serfdom?

Wake up and get your head our of your ass.

The feds are irrelevant. They long have been.

The big companies are the feudal lords. You are a serf.

Maybe - MAYBE - if the health care reform does what it should you will be less of a serf.
