Help! My file won't fit through the internet's tubes....

We've all faced this problem... because of course, the internet isn't something you can dump things on, it's a series of tubes. And boy does that cause problems when you need to transfer a dump truck-sized file, and it won't fit... (bonus image: person trying to stuff a file folder down those hamster play scapes. Funny!)

Solution! vdropbox.com. It's a nifty little app built by one of the mavens (If you can guess which one I'll let you use the app for free.) Ok the app is actually free. But if you can guess the maven, I'll be really impressed--how's that for a reward? My impression.

Anyway, vdropbox basically does everything FTP does for you, but in any easy format that doesn't involve using anything but the intertube. Just upload your file and indicate who should know about the upload. Your friend/colleage/etc. receives a notice that the file is waiting for them - they just click and download. Easy stuff.

vdropbox.com - let us know what you think.
