Comment: Hi Darren, I wanted to ask you about Dropshots, I saw it on the video player of this post. I have been looking for a site to show some of my family videos, but don't want them subjugated to the whole world like I have seen on youtube. Is this dropshots service reliable? I thought you'd know since you are using it. Thanks!
Yes, I do know something about DropShots. In fact, I am one of the original investors to the company so I know it intimately. |

It was started as a university study out of UCSD on how technology could be used to improve human relationships and the emotional bond between people. The technology prototype was released only to a dozen students to use with their families, but grew to over 50,000 people using it all over the globe on word of mouth alone. (DropShots story) The technology was commercialized and launched publicly December of last year and since has become the #1 family photo and video sharing service online with hundreds of thousands of families using it world-wide. (press info) I do highly recommend it. Not because I am an investor in the company but from using it personally. My wife and I love it! We use it to keep in-touch with friends and family members sprinkled all over the country. It is even great for keeping up to date with the happenings in friends lives who live only a few miles away, but busy lives keep us from frequent get-togethers. See a sample family site / see TSTN's page on DropShots |

You can also host photos and videos to be displayed and play in your blog or on your website, like I do here - all for free! Try it, I think you will love being able to easily keep in-touch and share the joys of life with those you care about. Thanks for asking Linda! |
Looking for barcoding software to create an efficient inventory system for your business? Go to this site to get barcode scanners and barcode printers today.
I am so glad that you put made this code available! I love DropShots, and I've been trying to talk my husband into upgrading to a Star User account, but with money being tight lately, he just hasn't wanted to do it. When I told him that we could get the first three months for free, he said to go ahead and do it -- and I know he'll want to keep it, because he's enjoying it as much as I am! (He was so disappointed when we reached our video limit on the free account this morning -- finding your old post today was perfect timing!)
Thank you!
