Interesting Discovery

I've just stumbled over something that pretty cool: Tubesnow.com.

If you go there (as you should), you'll discover a program called Tubes. Download it. What this nifty, innovative little program does is hold all the 'tubes' you've subscribed to. A tube in this context is basically a big dumping pot that can be between only you and a friend or between you and the world. Make a tube (public or private) and add things like word documents, mp3's, pictures, powerpoint presentations, etc. to it by drag-and-drop. Once you add it to the tube, whoever has access to that tube can also download it. It's kind of like sharing your desktop with someone else. As the site claims: FTP was so Web 1.0.

There's not much interesting on it yet, but bookmark this site and check back every so often. The potential for this kind of program is staggering. Diggnation's already leaped on board by advertising for it (and maintaining a Diggnation tube of its own). I would suggest subscribing to a tube I found that apparently started just today: The Best of BakuraRyou Fanfiction. Eh-pic, my friends.

Here's the description.

This tube will hoard the best of Bakura and Ryou fanfiction, be it yaoi or simply friends. You probably won't see too much angst, but I guarantee you'll see loads of romance. Email Aithril@gmail.com to submit a story you think should be included in this tube. I update once or twice a week with a new story or later chapters of an old one.

Subscribe to this tube to have the best of BakuraRyou fanfiction downloaded to your desktop automatically. Read it offline, print it out and take it somewhere, it's all up to you! Fanfiction has never been more mobile.

Awesomeness. No doubt they'll also put up some pictures, episode clips, and music eventually. Join to support their genius idea!
