dumping the backlog, another set of ideas
Free for the world, since I can’t monetize them, and I don’t have time to write for real:
1. I am done with traditional maps of space, they serve no purpose, unless you are marching a physical army on foot any time in the near future, or you have a private jet that can land anywhere, takes infinite fuel, and runs for free. The criteria the help me get around is not distance and...

When you think of drop.io, you probably think of a simple way to privately share files at http://drop.io — this is a perfectly valid way to think about what we do.
In fact, it is what we do. We try to do it very well - and will continue to do it better every day for consumers and small businesses.
