Record and share voice messages on the web with Drop.io

by Brad Linder Jan 15th 2008

Online file storage/sharing site Drop.io has added a new feature that makes it even easier to share messages with a group of friends or colleagues. Last month we told you how you could use Drop.io to set up a temporary web site for sharing office documents and multimedia files with other users. Now the service has launched Drop.io voice, which lets you record and share voice messages.

Here's how it works. Every new Drop.io page is assigned a phone number (or rather, a number and an extension). When you call that number from your phone you can record a message. The file is saved as an MP3. If your site is password protected only people you invite will have access, so you could just use this as a voice memo service for grocery lists. Or you could call in to make a crappy recording of a concert if that's what you wand to do.

Drop.io free accounts are limited to 100MB, which means you can theoretically record about 400 minutes of low quality audio, although why you'd want to do that is beyond us.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
