Letting Us Be We

From Me-Everything to the We Generation. The creation and sharing of multimedia is a hallmark of the “We Generation.” Here are just two new services, among the many cropping up, that let us be “we.” These are the modern media equivalents of the post office and Community Square on a global scale. They are simple and brilliant examples of connecting customers with each other.

Ourmedia.org offers free storage and bandwidth for video, audio, photos or text. Their mission: provide a place alongside big media to “gather, inform, entertain and astound each other.”

Dropload is an online place to drop off files and have them picked up at a later time by someone else (or yourself). Upload any type of file, up to 100MB each. Just specify the recipients and they receive an email with instructions for downloading. After 7 days, the files are deleted. As handy as UPS. Social networks and services built around our digital self-expression - modern media on the rise. Modern marketing opportunity. Are you creating, contributing, enabling or participating in social networks?
