Chris Bowler lists a couple of usage frequent usage scenarios for Droplr, the new shiny sharing tool in town:
1) Shorten URLs — every link I post in Twitter comes from Droplr. This way I can track what I’ve shared and how often it’s been clicked. Other URL shorteners do this for you, but Droplr includes this service in with everything else it does.
2) No more attachments — do you have files that you regularly attach to emails? Rather than make slow emails, just upload your file to Droplr and include the link in the email.
3) Blog posts — I’ve started using Droplr to host miscellaneous items that might make their way into a blog post. It’s so much more enjoyable to work within the Droplr interface than the WordPress backend.
You should take a look at some of the enhancements to the final version too:
- syntax highlighting for code snippets
- nice info page for file downloads
- menu bar icon with upload progress
