Seems very easy to use and has a cool interface! This should make file sharing among friends and colleagues easier and more intuitive. Looks great! Seems very easy to use and has a cool interface!

You will see that you would spend least number of your clicks to accomplish this with the desktop plugin. Raghu Kulkarni Mark,

The liability that would attach to the employer for misues whether direct or indirect would be so overwhelming that most employers would prohbit such "sharing" services. Sorry, but I just cannot go there for anything, no matter how remotely confidential. Hesi. Uses at Work

But it is no way to organize my digital life. I like MyGrowUp.com better in this sense. My friends like to browse my photos, videos there on MyGrowUp.com because it provides a easy interface to go through my whole life. Stixy can be a file storage with fancy interface.

Its much richer and capability of videos and othe functionality. But that comes with a cost of a little slowness and clutter. But I am happy that these services are coming up. Stixy looks really nice and easy. I used wixi on the weekend. Its much richer and capability of videos and othe functionality. But that comes with a cost of a little slowness and clutter.

Take a look at http://picme.raizlabs.com it's a new product that does exactly that. It allows easy bi-directional sharing with non-technical people.

You can have as many Stixyboards as you like, and you can share each and every one of them with as many people as you like (or keep it private). The size of a Stixyboard has no limits, so it could grow over time. The last position of the scroll is saved so you will always come back to where you left. We have many features for Stixy in our pipeline, and most of the features you’re mentioning will be part of upcoming releases. Such as group management, search, filter by metadata, tagging of widgets, etc. We will also add things like a global calendar where you can see all your todo widgets in a more traditional calendar view (as well as any other future calendar savvy widgets), assets libraries for all your photos, documents, videos etc. and better contact administration. We will also add more widgets (of course). The idea behind Stixy is to provide an easy, flexible, creative and fun way of sharing and collaborating. Yet, we will add the tools that make it as easy and powerful to find, manage, and reuse your widgets (data) as time goes by.

Agreed. It's similar to Yuntaa. Should we consider the scalability of these services. What if we used this day in & day out over 6 months... how scalable is it? What if i invite 40 people who i'm collaborating with on a project? How do i group, categorise, filter by metadata, search, etc. Nice example of GUI presentation. @ 2. Agreed. It’s similar to Yuntaa.
