FileSocial – Share Your Files on Twitter
Now we can share pictures, videos, music, text documents, compressed files, PowerPoint presentations, Firefox extensions, applications… Anything!
Itʼs as easy as uploading it to FileSocial and a “tweet” will be automatically published with a permanent link to the file along with the description you wish for everyone to see it, download it or comment on it.
The new FileSocial is SECURE. It uses OAuth, a system that avoids the need to log in with a username and password since it authenticates us directly through Twitter, maintaining the confidentiality of our personal information. With FileSocial, your personal information is safe.
The new FileSocial is EASY and CONVENIENT. You can upload any type of file up to 50 mb, absolutely free and without an expiry date. Carefully designed to make its use simple, you can see the files other users upload and, of course, see your own files and erase any at any time you wish to.
And if this werenʼt enough, you can fiddle around with our API. Software developers can now easily integrate FileSocial in their own service, or create plugins, applications, widgets… Check it out!

Thrive – Online Money Management
Thrive helps you budget your money. Get your money organized and use this webapp to really control your spending and get focus on saving.
Here are some examples on how Thrive can help you:
- pay off credit card debt
Thrive will look at how you use money and help you gradually lower your spending in the areas you can save the most. Then we’ll tell you how much you need to pay on each bill to keep your debt from growing. By using the money you’ve saved to make extra payments on your credit cards each month, you’ll be on your way to be debt free. - buy a car or home
Before making a big purchase like a car or home, it’s important that you get your credit score as high as possible so you’ll get the best interest rate available. Thrive has a free credit score estimator that will help you figure out your credit score. Then we’ll give you advice to help you raise it so you get the best deal on your car or home. - save for retirement
For some of us, retirement seems far away, for others it seems too soon. Thrive will help you plan ahead by saving a little bit each month so you have enough saved for a comfortable retirement. You can even see how much the $50 you squirreled away into your IRA will be worth in 40 years (answer: $1,086).

Scred – Money Credit System
Scred – short for “street credit” – allows friends, groups and communities to manage their collective money. Its Pools feature, first of all, is designed to help friends keep track of who owes what during a joint excursion, for example. Friends all sign up for the same pool when they know they’ll need to track expenses together, and then they input each cost incurred as they go along. The system will track debts between people, balance debts and shared expenses and then calculate who owes what in the end—even using multiple currencies. The Pools function is free to use, and is also available via mobile phone.
