hey.. i noticed your gmail address.

i was thinking of ways to use gmail for rapid media filesharing.. going to try a
few tests tonight.. but the idea is to have emails with mp3/ogg attachments in
the gmail box, essentially creating a storage repository, and simply forward
them to other gmail users (hopefully near instant transfer). google has some
nice bandwidth, so the results might be pretty cool.


i was going to try this with some fairly large audio files, using gmail for free
colaboration and filestorage between locations.


i don't think google would appreciate me writing a script where a user can visit
a webpage, choose a piece of media, enter a gmail address, and have it
automatically sent from a script that simulates a login and forward, but oh well..


the cool thing is that you have a free 1gb portable web based media collection.

if the attachment transfer between gmail users is fast, this may prove to be a
nice method for small group(gmail list) file distribution.


anyone played around much with large attachments?

google keeps giving me invites so ive got ~6 to spare.
