Fliiby: It's like YouTube, but for all sorts of file types
Like any good file sharing site, a ton of the content available on Fliiby has probably been uploaded by users who don't have the rights to distribute said files. But there are also plenty of legit files including free and open source software applications, user generated videos, and images.

If you just scroll through without looking for anything particular, odds are you'll find something you're interested in.

The site is cool and kind of reminds me of a pre-hypertext internet file site, such as an early university library's internet offerings, but this is obviously different because anyone can upload content to it.
Also, the wording of the excerpted sentence fragments above is awkward. Removing the 'also' would improve the fluidity of this otherwise solid prose.

This reminds me of Esnips.com, which also allows the sharing of almost any file type.
