Drop.io was bought by Facebook and this makes furious
Because now, all the links that I had disseminated through the web with mine and my wife's phd thesis are gone. Not a good thing for the sake of publishing, right? There used to be a time when I could feel a service would be good enough so that it wouldn't fail its users. Now it appears that good enough means being bought by some bigger fish and not caring about their former users.
I trusted drop.io with a whole semester of data from my classes. It made a great souvenir of how the class went, with all the students comments topping the shared files. Sure, I have all the basic stuff in my hard disk and in my backup. But I lost *all* the publishing factor, all the data, all the publishing polishing.
