“Drop.io does not require users to submit their e-mail addresses, or to register in any way. The sharing spaces, called “drops,” are not searchable on Google or any other engine. They’re also not “networked” like Facebook or MySpace accounts. Users simply come up with a location name for their space (like drop.io/myspacehere), and “drop” in some files with a couple of clicks. They can protect the page with a password, and set how long they want the drop to exist (if you only want it to last for a day, Drop.io will automatically delete it after 24 hours). In other words, Drop.io is the anti-network.

The thing I am finding the most interesting about Drop.io is that Sam and Jake et al seem to be defining their own vocabulary and rules about their service and its value. It does make it a little harder to grasp what they are doing, sure, but I don’t think it’s “ease” that they are after anyway.
