Jumpshare (https://jumpshare.com) - Real-time file sharing service that allows you to view over 200 file formats right inside the browser.
It's cool because:
* People can now share and view the contents of the files online without having to download and view them using 3rd party desktop apps.
* People can collaborate around content while on the go.
* No need to sign up for multiple services to upload multiple file types, YouTube, Scribd, Slideshare, Flickr, etc. Just upload any file on Jumpshare and view it online, beautifully.
* Files shared can be viewed by the recipients without having to sign up for an account.
* Kills folder hierarchy and introduces a new type of folder organization to speed up file sharing.
That sounds like a brilliant idea. Also, if you bake in 'previewing' capabilities (like thumbnails for images, bpm/quality descriptions and waveform sketches for audio files, or whatever the equivalent would be for each type of media), you could potentially lease the technology to social media sites that typically already do this for popular image formats.
