"Jungle Disk Desktop Edition lets you store files and automatically backup all of your data easily and securely to Rackspace Cloud Files and Amazon S3."

I've been using mozy.com/home for several months now too.
- Johnny Sewell
Jungle Disk has a proprietary format for the files it stores. I only use S3 tools that are compatible, such as s3cmd, s3 firefox organizer, JetS3t. I do not use s3drive anymore for the same reason.
- Leen Roozemond
Been using ExpanDrive with S3 for the past couple of months. No proprietary format, just mounts a drive and I can drag and drop or even navigate by the command line.

Reminds me of the time I looked out of an airplane window and printed on the side of the engine pod was "General Electric. Reliable aircraft engines". As if they are going to say anything else but reliable?

You know, you could have just started feeding in your tweets here and achieved the same, right? Or would that have been too subtle?

My twitter stream is the typical... random thought bubbles, food porn pics, and shared items relating to technology, politics, and $$$. http://twitter.com/sean808080 is where you find me. Oh and I like unicorns and fairy dust.

http://twitter.com/eoghann... - I post sci-fi news (tv, movies, books or comics I'm probably a fan of it), some tech stuff and the occasional round of venting.

I use InstaPaper on my iPod Touch - because the we only have #nearlynet in NZ - wifi isn't everywhere, and often costs. MobileSafari tends to reload a page you leave open when you switch tabs, incurring more data charges or requiring a net connection to continue reading an article or page online. Flat rate connectivity isn't a reality in New Zealand - every bit costs - so a local cache...

- Jo Booth
I've used both. Evernote I use because I also have the firefox extension installed so i can access all my notes in either application. Instamapper, I don't see a reason for most people to use unless some 3rd party make some great app to take advantage of their data. I only use it to program and play with the raw API data they provide
- brendan
Tweetie integration is the big win on Instapaper for the iPhone.
- Bill Sodeman
i do. instapaper's offline feature is as of yet unmatched by evernote for iphone. it loads fast and remembers your position in a document. i think the two companies should work together to integrate much like tweetie has done with instapaper.
- pendolino
Evernote has some cool features, take a picture of something with text and it can search and find the text in the image, Instapaper is good for when you come across a story you want to read but don't have time, you send the link to it and when you have time you go to your repository and read the stories you saved and it marks them read and removes them from the list. It's bookmarking with a specific purpose.
- Brian
What are the differences between these services?
- Vezquex
I use evernote as a reference and a second brain and Instapaper for articles I just want to read at a later date
- Simon Tracey
evernote is my outsourced brain (archive) and instapaper my todolist.
- denise
It looks like a lot of people are joining this service. I can't recommend it highly enough. In fact I'm hoping I could use it to central point to share everything from (to my favourites services like FriendFeed and Google Buzz). Sadly there are a few things it needs first, here: http://koltregaskes.amplify.com/2010... and here: http://koltregaskes.amplify.com/2010... but give it a go. The bookmarklet/browser extension betters FriendFeed's IMHO and I don't say that likely. Clipping articles is excellent! #whatsyoururl
- Kol Tregaskes
as you know, mine is http://flapic.amplify.com and Amplify quickly replaced most of the services I used before - Kol, got your mail, gonna check the threads shortly
- Flavio
http://morgaine.amplify.com/, happy to see this service gets a lot of attention lately. It has been around for a while, but it's always amusing to see the buzz that gets created when a couple of a-listers discover the service :-)
- Morgaine LeFaye
@Morgaine: Heh! Yeah I discovered it four days ago and have posted about it much lately :) I think I managed to get around 40-50 new Amplify users by doing that :)

When trying to add a facebook fan box I get a page that says: "Please paste in the Facebook Fan Box code exactly as it is on Facebook". I think this is supposed to show up under your profile picture in facebook, but I don't see it there. Is this for folks who have a facebook page?
- Sue - Friendfeed is best
Good to see a lot of FriendFeeders over there already. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
i use amplify for long posts for twitter, similarly one can use wordpress.com but there you can't clip and post, love posterous too remember amplify is wp mu i have particular interest in the plugin they are using to simplify wp-admin for users
- testbeta
My problem with Amplify, which you'll see I've been testing on my newsfeed, is that whatever I try none of the images are posted through the auto-post feature. If they can fix that or we can find a way I can post from there to FF and Buzz with images then I could use it as my central sharing point. Twitter and plurk auto-posting works fine but Tummlr, Posterous, FF and FB come through as tweet-like posts. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
You need to have a fan page, then you'll find the code in its administration section

http://jezlyn.posterous.com I really like using it to feed content to my Wordpress blog and other sites at the same time. It's the only easy way I know of to e-mail posts "to" my Wordpress.com blog.

Kol - it's great how one FF post can start a little movement. I've used it more today than since I signed up whenever a long time ago. Thanks.
- phil baumann
@phil couldn't you do the embed feature... ? post something to posterous.. and then 'edit' the post and paste the embed? Or maybe simply email it?
- Sean
Phil, click on the 'Share' link of the FF entry, then copy the embed code. Create a new Posterous entry, select HTML mode and paste in the embed code. You'll need to edit the width and height (looks like 500 for width). Then post. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Don't forget to tag your posts like this ((tag: posterous, friendfeed)) in the subject line of your emails. That way your posts will be seen easier by all other Posterous users when they use the global posterous search.
- Svartling
Kol, yes I see.. I added it, I guess Twitter does not have anything but javascript and flash widgets.. It doesnt matter, since I autopost to twitter there is a button there..

How do you all add the little twitter and friendfeed images with links to your profiles here on posterous. I don't know the code to do that. :( Help when u can.
- Amani
http://mylescrew.posterous.com/ Right now I'm just testing, the import from Blogger was REALLY easy. I'm trying to "port" BlurbBits (http://ff.im/4tlY2) to make them work better on posterous. The iframe style parameter gets removed, which is different than Blogger (there is *always* something).
- Chris Myles
Amani, the little images for twitter etc you get if you autopost to those sites but you might end up with duplicate posts that way. There is a friendfeed badge you can put in your posterous profile at http://friendfeed.com/embed... use the image format, not javascript.

Check out Wayne Suttons Posterous (he posted his URL in this thread). You see that he has changed some colors. That is a private beta feature that is coming soon to the public.
- Svartling
http://lizasperling.posterous.com/ Thanks - you are making this a very helpful Sunday:) AND for those of you trying to embed other images, etc...I did it in my profie and mash in friendfeed, zemanta, gmail, wisestamp,etc..FUN - happy to help.
- Liza + = ?
YOU are a great example of engaging followers and using tools to help us connect in many other ways. THANK YOU.

@koltregaskes, my posterous is at http://alexschleber.posterous.com "Quick Hits Business Mindhacks". Had been using it quite a bit the first 6 months of this year. I'm a big fan of Garry & Sachin, but really wish posterous would hurry up with some of the much needed feature upgrades (skins and/or CSS, Retweet button - just use Tweetmeme, custom sidebar HTML, WYSIWIG bookmarklet, etc.) Seems like they're stalling a bit right now, no?
- Alex Schleber
They have to be careful not to mess with the simplicity of it, though; that's why so many people like it. If they tart it all up, it might as well just be Tumblr. Which already exists.
- NNR
from email
@koltregaskes weird that you're "what's your GReader/Posterous/FB?" entries from the last few days seem to presage in a way what happened today..
- Alex Schleber
I tried a post asking everyone to share their Google Reader shared items link, but I guess I don't have many followers. Maybe you can?
- Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
My url is http://dave6.posterous.com I just tried out the "((nogallery))" feature that lets you post pictures not in gallery format by putting ((nogallery)) in email subject http://dave6.posterous.com/where-d... only problem is that it takes a while to load pictures if not using really high-speed internet.
- David Gross
from email
surely someone has figured out how to add Friend connect to posteorus...keep searching, and love the cool mashups, but no Friendconnect....
- Liza + = ?
Wish the RSS import into FriendFeed worked a little better. Would make Posterous more useful to me.
- Kol Tregaskes
I've tried a couple today and the images don't come in and the imported text is messy. Works just fine in Google Buzz so if I could work out while my import is messy in FF then it would be a viable option for posting a few articles to both FF and Buzz in one click.
- Kol Tregaskes
what do you have in posterous that you don't have on tumblr? anyway, friendfeed has problems all the time, unfortunately we're losing it :(
- Flavio
hmm.. Kol, ever try doing it the other way? Have posterous push to friendfeed.
- David Gross
from email
hmm.. I have problems with posterous too.. I forward stuff from email and it messes up the formatting. It just took a 5 picture funny and juggled the pics, how will people get a laugh out of a messed up joke?;( I went to blogger, tumblr and posterous to edit.. I have to do often.

Aqin, evet o özellik yok. ama ekstra pdf okuyucu herhangi bir uygulama yüklemektense bir tek bunu yükleyip hem diğer dosyaları saklamak hem de pdf v.s. gibi dosyaları görüntülemek için ideal bir uygulama.
