More on Online Storage

I posted awhile ago about box.net, a promising new service offering 1G of free storage online, with lots of fancy bells and whistles. Afterward, I found another site for those of you not into bells and whistles. Streamload offers 25G of storage (G = gigabytes =1024M) for free (more for a fee). I haven't actually tried it out yet, but it looks like a good service for people who want to back up relatively small amounts of data (ok, so I know plenty of people with hard drives smaller than 25G) or exchange larger amounts of data. It has an upload utility for windows users that makes it easier to upload huge amounts of data over slowish connections. If you didn't already know, most DSL and cable Internet connections have very slow upload speeds when compared with their download speeds, so uploading 25G will take awhile. Anyway, it is at least worth a look.

Not too much time for blogging this week, so I'm going to call it a night.
