I’ve been using DropBox for the past few days and it is really nice especially the sharing aspect. I’ve been able to give co-workers access to a collection of folders which have various tarballs inside. This is so much better than trying to upload attachments to a Wiki page or emailing them around.

Great stuff!

What you won’t see here are sites or feeds that do not have any unread items. In fact, Brent has taken measures to ensure that on the mobile version of NetNewsWire, the user will only see what’s important to him. Many times during our interview, Brent mentioned that he was developing this application from the perspective of the individual who had only five minutes between tasks to take a quick look at his feeds. To that end, items you’ve read will disappear from the phone in 12 hours or so, keeping what you see on your iPhone to the bare minimum of important items.

I’m bummed I haven’t upgraded to Leopard yet because I think I’ll try this once I do.
