so now verizon is charging other people money to *call you*. aren't you alrady paying verizon to have a phone number just so people can call you and send you messages.
you would have to be a real sucker to let verizon charge your friends and associates money to communicate with you, on top of what they are already paying *their* phone company to send the message in the first place.
the problem with just uploading to a web folder is you end up with many versions of the same files and lose track of which is which. also, there are problems with clobbering newer versions of files with older ones.
with version control you always know which is the latest version of your file and can roll back to previous versions if you make a mistake (like super-undo). the windows client tortoisesvn integrates right into te windows explorer and is very simple to use once you have your repository set up. there is also a nice os x client svnx. on linux, of course, you can just use the 'svn' cli.

although posey is still a research project, it is being developed on linux in python.
the source code is available from the code lab mercurial repository here:
http://code.arc.cmu.edu/hg/pyposey
if you are interested in building an application for posey send me an email.
there is a video of posey being demoed at a dorkbot pittsburgh meeting here: http://www.allartburns.org/dorkbot/dorkbot-200704-weller.mp4
you should check out subversion.
