MyBloop: Free unlimited file storage and sharing service

by Brad Linder Mar 7th 2008

MyBloop is yet another service that lets users upload and share files with the world. You can upload pretty much any file type, and MyBloop will detect media files and allow you to view them online using an audio, video or image viewer. You can also share links or embed files on any web page.

What makes MyBloop stand out from the competition is a nifty file management system. You can easily upload a bunch of files at once using the web interface. Or you can download a desktop client for Windows or Mac that will let you drag and drop files from your desktop. Once your files are online there's a nice Ajaxy interface for dragging and dropping files between folders.

You can upload as many files as you like, but there's a file size limit of 1GB. Users can also search for files uploaded by others, or browse the most viewed or most recently uploaded files. Not surprisingly, there's a lot of copyrighted material on the site, but there's a nice link at the bottom of the page for anyone who wants to file a DCMA takedown request.

The Blooploader client is completly open sourced
http://code.google.com/p/blooploader

In the code, the curious will find a JSON-RPC api written in Python to interact directly with the storage power of mybloop.com

good site, although if you download the standalone uploader, during installation, it wants you to install a toolbar which mcafee says is spyware

There are enough online file storage services out there, so these guys will have to do more than provide a different interface in order to really compete.

Very cool, for now.
I wonder how long it'll take before they have to throttle back the storage and upload sizes like DivShare did...

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.
