Just saw a tweet about this from SXSW conference folks. Drop.io is providing private online temporary storage to folks - and the cool part is you can add items using just about any method you can think of, email, phone, computer… you get the idea. I decided to give it a try to see what the service was like. The site is very responsive and the application is simple and easy to understand. The announcement from SXSW is that the company is working on a Facebook app to bring this very cool functionality directly into Facebook. What’s really killer about this is the ability to collaborate on a project that requires sharing media beyond paper-like spreadsheet, power-point and word like documents. Easy to use and highly collaborative - nice! Try using the AF-Design drop with their embedded widget.

This signals the beginning of more business oriented applications coming to social networks. This is ushering in entire new classes of applications. Screenshot of the app below.
