AideRSS Adds Twitter and OpenID To Their PostRank Ranking Service
May 15th, 2008 at 6:04 pmSource:CenterNetworks
This morning I headed down to DUMBO (a neighborhood in Brooklyn) to check out the new Drop.io office. It’s a great loft-style space that looks like the team can easily expand past their current headcount.
CN was the first media outlet to cover Drop.io on their alpha launch last November. Drop.io is a private, discreet file sharing service. This means you can share files with only the people you want. The most simple example is a designer who wants to show his or her sketches to their client without putting them on a public file server. Drop.io handles nearly all media types and offers a variety of methods to view the files including rss, mobile and a new embed option for videos.
Drop.io uses a variety of Amazon tools on the backend and in the interview below they note that Drop.io users have already stored several terabytes of data. What makes this even more significant is that Drop.io expires data — so the reported figures are "active" stats.
One of the issues Drop.io faces is gaining brand awareness. Drop.io may have trouble getting brand recognition becuase its content is all private unlike other file sharing services which promote themselves as people share the content stored on the service.
Darshan and Sam have provided CN with ten free premium upgrade codes. Leave your information in the comments (do not leave your email in the comment, just in the email field) and I will send you an upgrade code.
Check out my interview below with co-founders Darshan Somashekar and Sam Lessin.

AideRSS is a new service that has created a new way to rank stories that are in RSS feeds. Their new way is called PostRank and combines many of the social services together to form a score for each post within a feed. ReadWriteWeb has a good overview of how AideRSS works.
The idea is interesting and innovative but it clearly skews towards the largest blogs. The larger blogs have a better chance to get more saves on delicious, more chance of getting on Digg, etc. I’d like to see more discovery within the service.
Today AideRSS is announcing Twitter link integration. Now AideRSS will scan Twitter and add links inside of tweets into their PostRank count. They will also display number of tweeted URLs as a metric.
They are also announcing OpenID support for login authentication.
