drop.io disappears
as you know, Facebook purchased Drop.io and thus its service ceased on Dec15,2010.
I was not a heavy user of drop.io but I found it a very user-friendly service.
Various sites have suggested alternatives but really there aren't any (i'm aware of at this moment).
It had a very unique ease and freedom of interface; There was the options of implementing more restrictions if the user wanted.

If we are fortunate, some intelligent company will put out a similar service to drop.io. Perhaps in the future Google will, they are a smart operation.
Again, this is an example of the impermanence of the internet. Once a site ceases, the (digital) information/content is loss. I wonder if a (paper)book, wouldn't outlast digital information as a storage medium?
Backup your content from the cloud, should another rainy day occur.
