drop.io vs getdropbox.com
getdropbox.com wins, and here’s why:
* Syncing up to 50 gigabytes of content, seamlessly, across Mac, Windows, and Linux.
* Sharing individual folders, with per-folder “push-like” data publishing.
* Edit history, ability to un-delete stuff.
* Automatic organization of media.
* Other crazy awesome stuff.What does drop.io do?
* Share a file. At least it’s easy.

drop.io also offers recording from voicemail and offers a free conference call number. although its only 100 Mb.

Hmm, that's interesting. I didn't know that drop.io was branching off into telecom.

Thanks. I just found out about drop.io today and was just searching this topic

The two services are distinct. DropBox requires a desktop client to fully take advantage of the syncing versus drop.io that just requires a web browser. Also, drop.io supports document viewing, audio file listening and many other advanced features that DropBox fails on. Next time do some research.

Yeah, I’m still up on the air about which to use and to recommend to others. I guess, I need to use them both and figure it out…
Thanks for the post about it… and the research you did do

I’m not sure what kind of reasoning was involved with your verdict. DropBox and drop.io are extremely distinct services which focus on completely different things. Dropbox is mere storage and sync, drop.io is online collaboration. Drop.io focuses on giving you “drops” which store more than just files, but chat rooms, voicemail, watchable video, audio, presentations, notes/text, images, etc. Dropbox is just…storage and sync. Don’t get me wrong, I love dropbox and use it everyday, but saying Dropbox wins over drop.io is like saying an apple is better than an orange.

Joshua, it’s been months since I posted this, and drop.io has diversified its feature set greatly.

Hey Kevin,
Thanks for the post. I have been using Dropbox but heard people rave about drop.io, especially about the new present.io features. Can you create an updated post about the 2 services and see which one is better for what type?
Thanks and keep the amazing posts going! I’ll follow you on Twitter.

Disqus future strategy
Disqus is a company currently doing hosted commenting systems, primarily for blogs. They should also do these:
* rating blog posts
* polls
* RSVPs
* colored labels (if you see a comment you really like, become a fan of the poster so that their comments are highlighted in the future.
* following (follow that awesome commenter)
* banning (make someone’s comments invisible to you)that’s it off the top of my head…

He really did a good job on that. All the organization and colors helped to understand.
btw, I found out that T-Mobile is going to release 3 phones I’m really looking forward to:
HTC Touch Pro 2
HTC Magic
Sony Ericsson CS8
I can’t wait for July. Maybe you can post your thoughts on them so we know which one is the one you like the best.

Hmm, the problem here is that I would only be speculating unless I could get my hands on some of those. Maybe I’ll visit a T-Mobile store sometime.
