This raises again concerns about privacy.. and the 20MB limit is not pleasant at all... why not use traditional filesharing services like www.ravishare.com, where you can upload files of up to 300MB for free and share the link anonymously via Twitter without entering your password?

I saw that http://MyOtherDrive.com was allowing you to share with friends and your twitter account, too. Its hard to say where this will all go in the next year, but sharing files publicly and tweeting have become very big these days.

About the oauth thing guys, we'll look into it if there is demand for that feature, but rest assured our database is secure and we will be adding an SSL certificate in the up coming weeks. We don't want to use your Twitter account, we just want you to use our service.

This is to announce that we will be getting rid of rapidshare and launching direct downloads by tomorrow morning.

We will be hosting files on our own servers , so no waiting anymore for downloads.

Also we will be adding features such as re-tweeting about files , comments on uploads , rating system and much more.

If anyone would like to request a feature, you can contact us using the contact us page on the website.

Cheers guys!

Looks like they are getting rid of rapidshare and will be hosting the files themselves.

Oauth should not be optional func based on user feedback. It should be mandatory in the mind of any 3rd party app developer. Everyone wins.

Those fearful of twitter worms are totally right. A site that has your login/pw can so easily post, @, and DM every one of your follows/followered with the same thing... Esp. with link masking.

We had added FileTwt to Twitdom.com a few days ago. I think these guys have a great roadmap. Surely something to bookmark and look forward to in the coming weeks.

Will there be one day a built-in way to attach images?

One more efficient tool to keep in touch with the world!

@Brad.F : We are going to add a virus scan feature.

@Jonathan : We are not going anywhere with the twitter passwords.Take my home address if you doubt filetwt's credibility , but if a sizable fraction of twitter users ask for Oauth integration , we will be happy to oblige.

@Neil : We are planning to host our own files , so you may be interested to use the service in a couple of week's time.

This file sharing service has been created solely to cater the twitter community and we will add every possible functionality to achieve the same.

Ask for Twitter password is insecure and old, so I prefer Filesocial (dot com) because with the same capacity, they have a Twitter Oauth login, safest.

I stopped posting about Twitter apps that asks for password months ago.

I can't tell you how nervous I would be to download a file from a twitterlink. The first Twitter trojan will travel faster than any trojan ever has, don't you think?

not all emailers allow 20mb attachments so it will be nice for this use, also a way to
get others who are still kicking and screaming about "i don't get twitter" and won't
even bother to get an account... to have a reason to get them on :)

This is nothing new, file sharing has been around for a while on Twitter with tweet.io the makers of drop.io......

NICE!

in my mind they both fail. another twitter app without oauth integration. great ideas, but their extremely hindering themselves in my opinion. same goes for twitdoc as mentioned above.

i never start development on a new twitter app without first integrating twitter oauth.

Oh, I can't wait until I share my 10Tb database backups on Twitter.

I bet this is going to turn into a big virus-sharing platform.
