Whether its posting a funny video or interesting article on Facebook, emailing a new recipe to a friend, sharing files for a group project, or sending photos to your family, we’re always sharing information with one another over the internet. But what if there was a way to share and host all your files in one place?

PutLocker makes file sharing as easy as can be! Simply upload the file you want to share — then email a link to the people you want to share it with. You can also choose to password-protect your files for added security.

But PutLocker isn’t just for sharing files — you can also use it to store your files and access them anywhere. By signing up for an account, your files are saved on PutLocker, so instead of having to lug around your laptop or find a flash drive big enough to hold the files you need, just upload the files you want to be able to access onto your account, and they’ll be there the next time you log in. PutLocker doesn’t have any limits on the number of files you can upload, and there’s unlimited storage space! Read More »

[There are over 100 million sites on the Internet. 100 million! You might think you know about all the important ones (CollegeCandy, Gmail, Google, Facebook…), but there are thousands of other sweet sites out there (like LiveProfile, Foodily and Cramster) and more showing up every day! We get it – it’s not easy or fun sifting through the crap and porn to find those gems, so we’re gonna bring the gems to you. Just sit back, kick up those feet and allow us to introduce you to the diamonds in the internet rough.]

From important class papers and projects, to priceless photo memories, to my entire iTunes library, my laptop pretty much has my entire life on it. But sometimes I need something from my computer and don’t have it with me (like class assignments), and constantly having to load files onto a flash drive or remembering to email them to myself can get annoying.

Dropbox solves that problem by allowing you to access your files from anywhere! Dropbox is fully compatible with Mac, Windows and Linux operating systems, meaning that even files saved on your MacBook can be accessed on a PC. What’s more, your Dropbox files are always available via the secure, password-protected website. You can also access Dropbox via your smartphone — it’s compatible with iPhone, Blackberry and Android  — as well as iPad.

And the best part? You don’t even have to do anything! Once you install the program, Dropbox continuously keeps the folders updated every time you make a change or update for you, so you can rest easy knowing your files will be available for you whenever and wherever you need them. Read More »

[Welcome to my Weekly Love List. A list, on all things I love. Because if I love them - well then obviously you may (and should) love them too. As the Backstreet Boys song says (and yes I am actually quoting them) "My Love is All I Have To Give." So with that throwback, here are this week's list-worthy things…]

1. My Dropbox – Does your friend have all the good pictures from last night on her camera? Did she just buy the new Britney album that you want but are too embarrassed to purchase? We all know how annoying it is to transfer files via email – that stuff takes forever – and now you don’t have to. My Dropbox is a program you and your friends download. Wanna share some pics with eachother? Just drag em into your box (that’s what she said) and – voila! – any friends who are linked up with you now have the files too. It’s technology at its finest.

2. Healthy Mac & Cheese? 18 grams of fiber in one serving, and it’s GOOD. My late night munching self is in LOVE with this idea.

3. Eco Friendly organization. We all know we are supposed to hold on to every exam all semester long, along with our bank statements, our shopping reciepts, and a plethora of other junk that just ends up splattered all over our desks, and floors, and cars… and the list goes on. So check out these great, eco friendly ways to divide up your important documents and tuck them away in a neat, safe place. I don’t really love these, but my roommates love seeing the kitchen table, so I guess that’s good enough.

4. Laura Mercier ‘Almond Coconut Milk’ Hand Crème - It fits in your purse, makes your hands baby soft, and makes you think you are sipping pina coladas on spring break instead of cramming for your econ final.

5. Frustration Free Packaging. How many times do you spend 25 mintues trying to open up your new phone/Bluetooth/Barbie Doll and you just end up with a missing tooth, a bloody lip and the urge to scream and stomp on the product? Whoever designed that hard plastic packaging should work for national security. But, thankfully, Amazon.com is ready to do away with “Wrap Rage”; they are introducing a line of “frustration free packaging,” in recyclable cardboard boxes. Perfect for those of us with a need for instant gratification. Easy to open AND eco-friendly? Now that I L-O-V-E.

So you fancy your downloaded music? Well, guess what, you pirating son of a bitch: the Man’s gonna getcha. Believe me; I know firsthand. One moment, I was floating through the web, using Kazaa and Limewire to download my favorite Ace of Base songs, then BOOM! I’m doin’ time. Well, not really, but you’ll see.

Let’s backtrack a bit. I had just persuaded my mother to bring my desktop to the fraternity house. Let the guiltless hiding-of-the-porn-in-a-separate-folder, illegal downloading free-for-all commence! An album here, a movie there, it was cooler than penguin shit. My roommate wanted in. “Do you mind if I download this new song I love?”“Sure,” I said confidently, feeling like Jesus Himself, feeding the masses with fish and bread, well, username and login, in this case.

Then all the brothers in my ‘fraternity’ file started sharing off the same machine. Before I knew it, the popped-collar posse and I had gathered more than 200,000 downloaded pieces of media.

One day, the phone rang. Read More »
