Send Really Big Files From Your Desktop with Sendago

send large files online  

Sendago is an impressive desktop+web software for sharing files on your hard drive that are otherwise too large for sending as email attachments. It's not an online file storage service but a good alternate to email attachments.

You can either use Sendago as a standalone app for emailing large documents or it can be easily integrated with Outlook just like the YouSendIt plugin - emails are sent via Outlook but the files are uploaded to Sendago servers.

There are a couple of reason why you may enjoy Sendago - First, it allows you 10 GB of online storage for free so you can share files of virtually unlimited size.

Second, Sendago's desktop uploader cum file manager keeps of track of all files that you have sent via Sendago - so if you are sending the same file again to a different set of people, Sendago won't reupload, it would just use the existing file.

You can see thumbnails of pictures making it easy for you to make selections. Sendago even tracks the number of times a file has been downloaded by the recipients. All this information is shown in the desktop software itself without you having to open their website.

The recipient can download the shared files from the web browser without installing any software. One issue - the file download links auto-expire after a week for free accounts.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry. Some third-party Facebook hacks like "Facebook Sync" (for Mac) and "Facebook Downloader" (for Windows) did allow you to download your Facebook friends' names, emails, mobile phone number and profile photo to the desktop but they were quickly removed for violation of Facebook Terms of Use. How to Download Contacts from Facebook There are still some options to take Friends data outside the walls of Facebook wall.

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
