The idea of freeing people from their desktop and let them use their applications and work on their documents from anywhere and at anytime is appealing. To get there, what is needed is a fast connection to internet, a secure place to upload documents to the web and web applications that can work on documents without downloading them to one’s PC. Currently ISPs limit the speed of download and upload to squeeze more money from their customers. In fact they limit the upload speed on DSL or cable line to a ridiculously low speed of 20-30 Kbytes per second. Consumers need to push ISPs to resolve this issue. New technology like fire optic lines will alleviate this problem.
There are many companies who provide online storage or backup or group collaboration or file management services. At present no company is providing a comprehensive package for all the services that users need to move from desktop to the internet (web computing). Binfire.com is working to provide these services in near future for no cost for average users and very attractive prices for power users and businesses. Binfire.com is in alpha now and user can test run the current features. Soon a new UI and much added functionality will be available. Joining is free and registration only requires your name, email and a password selected by you.

I started using binfire.com. The site has a few good features. I like friends and group functionality. I also like the fact you get a shared folder that you can give your family and friends to have access to. This is in addition to your own privgate folder.
It would be nice to get a notice when somebsy puts a file in the share folder.
Graphics have some roomto be improved too.
All in all I think binfire.com is working on the right set of tools. It will be a great tool on the web.

Binfire.com has a great potential. It needs more work to make it real useful, but The basic functionality is right on. It is free too!
