Iceber.gs, first of all, they were pretty crafty when they had to choose their domain name. I came across iceber.gs the other day and really loved how the video on the site explains what they do. Essentially its a new form of bookmarking pages, thoughts, pictures, files etc. Its still new to the scene, so it is currently in private beta, but i’m definitely planning on requesting an invite.
What’s great about it is the ability to just drag and drop files from your browser window or desktop, whether it’s an image or documents from an email, or even highlighted text on a page and it will save them to your account. You also have the ability to create new text documents as well, writing yourself notes for future reference. The documents that you save, you can then organize into there own sub-categories. So this site is perfect for us creatives who really need to be well organized in order to think properly. That’s really all I can find out about this site, until I receive an invite, but I figured I would put the word out now so you can be considered some of the first users of iceber.gs.

“Drop it like it’s hot.” At least that’s what Dropmark tells you to do when you use their product. Dropmark is the new, innovative way to share documents and collaborate on projects. As of March 1st, Dropmark became available to all users after successfully completing their beta testing this past year. Their interface is wonderfully simple to use; drag photos, videos, documents, websites, text (essentially anything that you would like) from your desktop and place it into the specified collection on your browser window. The files are automatically uploaded and you have the choice to share it with anyone that you like or keep it to yourself. You can also invite collaborators, who can can upload their own files to the same collection. This makes project management much more efficient. And if you’re looking to make the workplace a little more inspiring, you can also create playlists or podcasts in your dropmark account to share with your co-workers.
Every collection has a built-in RSS Feed, so anytime something new has been added, users in that collection will be notified. Dropmark is now also integrated with Courier, available through the app store, which makes it so you can add to a collection without even opening your browser window. Sharing files has become so easy over the past few years, and now there are so many options to use, but if you are looking for an easy, efficient way to share files and collaborate on projects, go with Dropmark. Below is a video, made available through Vimeo, to show you how it all works.

Known as ‘The Modern Way to Work Together,’ Asana is a new task management system, that I stumbled upon the other day. It allows users to invite up to 30 members to a workspace for free, where you can begin to organize your business in a few simple steps. You can view your teams tasks and priorities as they are assigned, to help your business run more smoothly and efficiently. Asana is not only limited to the workspace though, you can also collaborate with friends or groups that you belong to, while keeping everything separate. There is also a great activity feed for every task, sort of like an instant message, where you can write down your thoughts and ideas for the other project members to read and comment on. It really heightens the project efficiency. Think of it as, you are having a business meeting without even leaving your office.
What’s also great, for those workaholics out there, Asana also has a mobile app available for both droid, iphone and ipad. So you can stay on top of your projects on the go. Essentially it’s a great customizable to-do-list for those of you that just need a little extra help with staying up-to-date on your tasks.

I always love a good story, and now the web offers a great site that allows you to piece together your own photos, videos and music and rearrange them in a way that you allows you to tell fun stories your way. TumbleCloud describes itself as a place for “collaborative digital storytelling.” It has a built-in and easy-to-use video editor, which allows users to create a quick “video montage” shall we say, out of their own videos, photos and/or music.The site offers users the capabilities to “capture a special day, market a small business, work with clients, and collaborate on a project.” Growing as a social network of sorts, TumbleCloud lets you connect with people that you know, and allow them to add more media from the moments you have captured to videos that you’ve already created.
TumbleCloud is brand new to the scene, having been launched in Beta only last week, so users will need to request an invite to become a member of the site. But what’s great is that they offer a test run for you to create your own storyboard. So if you like what you see, you can get bragging rights after you become one of the first members of TumbleCloud.

I hope you all had a Fantastic New Years Celebration! I am sure you have plenty of photos and videos to commemorate the New Year, and if you’re wondering how to send those large file sizes to friends and family, well let me introduce you to Kicksend. Now, I’m sure that you know there are plenty of other file sharing programs out their, but Kicksend offers a fresh, simple to use interface that allows users to send any file privately, regardless of file size, to anyone on their email list. The recipient doesn’t even need to sign up for Kicksend to open the file.
You can also have private conversations in real time through Kicksend, making it so much easier for collaborating on group projects. And if you want to make sure that certain people have opened the document, Kicksend will send along notifications and statistics to the user so they can see how many people in a group have downloaded the file.
So make sure to check out Kicksend, it has a great user interface that is simple to use, and pretty much allows users to send any size file, to any device, across any platform. They even have an iphone app available for download at the app store so you can send out all those great pics from your phone. Enjoy!
