Lijit is changing the way how your readers search your blog, With Lijit readers can search your blog networks, bookmarks, photos, blogroll, and more. It also gives the blogger detail statistics on your readers, where they came from, Popular search, Popular post and more.

Lijit also helps bloggers monetize their content via Search Results, Banners and more.

From Lijit Website:

When your readers search for information in real life, their first step is to typically seek out a friend for the answer. If their friend doesn’t have the answer they need, someone in that friend’s social network may. Eventually, they get an answer they trust, because it came from a source they trust. Your readers can now have that same experience on the web and it all starts with the source they trust. That source is you, the blog publisher.

What if your readers could search you and everything you’ve created for answers they’d trust?

Say you write a blog about all things TV. When your readers use Lijit to search you for “television”, the results might include blog posts you’ve authored about Tivo and HDTVs, as well as bookmarks you’ve made about next season’s programming lineups.

What if, when your readers searched you, their search would also include results from your social network and everything those people have created too?

Not only would their search return your blog posts and bookmarks, but it would also return blog posts your colleagues and friends have written about LCD vs. Plasma technology, bookmarks they’ve made about great sites to purchase HDTVs, and posts from blogs they read that discuss HTDV programming.

Using the power of people, their content, and their connections, Lijit enhances the way your readers search for and discover information on the internet. You serve as a filter for all of the results your readers could possibly receive, ensuring they only receive the most relevant results from the source they trust…YOU.

Just like it works in real life.

Drop.io is rooted in a model which highlights trust and transparency with the intent of minimizing the amount of information needed to share privately based on private URLs, passwords, and expiration settings. The model of privacy, which is known as Simple Privacy or Casual Privacy has been described by Kellan Elliott-McCrea of Flickr as “a design pattern for sharing non-public information using out-of-band exchange of unguessable tokens.” Another service following the same basic model is Flickr Guest Pass.

The service does not require embedded accounts, identity, search, or any other social elements. Its core philosophy is to create a simple, private system based on inputs and outputs. Users send “in” files (documents, images, videos, audio files, archives, and more) via various methods (web, mms, email, phone and fax) into their “Drops”. Once in the drops, users can view their content and move it “out” via the web, email, mms, and fax.

Drop.io was founded by entrepreneurs Sam Lessin and Darshan Somashekar in August 2007. The company was originally located in Manhattan and moved to its new office location in Dumbo, Brooklyn in 2008.

In November 2007, Drop.io completed a $1.2 million Series A round of financing lead by RRE Ventures to support the company’s development efforts and infrastructure growth. In March 2008, the company closed $2.7 million in series A-1 financing led by New York venture capital firms DFJ Gotham and RRE Ventures.

Drop.io was nominated for the Technical Achievement Award at the South By Southwest 11th Annual Web Awards in 2007.

On June 10th Drop.io and Scribd, the leading platform for online document publishing, announced a partnership to offer rich conversion and viewing within private “drops”, to make it easier for people to share private information online. As of 2008, users can find Drop.io on a number of social networking sites, including: Facebook and Twitter.

Between March 2007 and November 2008 drop.io released a series of feature improvements to their platform including ‘inputs’ and ‘outputs’ via various interfaces like phone and fax, a twitter ‘subscription’ mode, and a Firefox plugin that allows users to ‘drag and drop’ files into new or existing ‘drops’

In September 2008 drop.io released a very simple API which allows other applications to use drop.io’s file sharing ability in their own applications. Several early applications were built, including usend.io (a simple file transfer app like senduit or yousendit). Arstechnica appears to have built the first fully operational third party application on the API.

In November 2008 drop.io announced having moved 100% into ‘the cloud’ having switched away from all owned and rented physical hardware/servers and claimed to be the largest 100% in the cloud application in the world.

Also in November 2008 drop.io released a major design overhaul which completely changed the front end of the product, but maintained the core service.

In December 2008 drop.io was one of the first services to release a Facebook Connect integration, which allowed users to publish updates of any sort made to any drop directly to their facebook feed.

Drop.io is an account-free service that offers:

• 100 MB of free non-searchable storage with ability to upgrade to an infinite amount of storage for a fee
• Password protection and expiration settings
• Formatting and design customizations
• The ability to store and share images, documents, video, audio, and other digital content
• Free faxing
• Free e-mailing into and out of drops
• Free custom phone number and extension to add more information via e-mail, mms or phone
• Free voicemail sent into drops
• Custom expiration dates for each drop

A maximum of 20 folders (or “libraries”) may by synced, including libraries shared over the internet. Each library can contain a maximum of 20,000 files and each file cannot exceed 4GB.

Windows Live Sync was released on December 11, 2008.

Microsoft bought FolderShare from ByteTaxi Inc. on November 3, 2005, and made it a part of their Windows Live range of services.

On March 10, 2008, Microsoft released its first user visible update to Windows Live Sync (then FolderShare). This comprised a rewrite of the FolderShare website and an updated Windows Live Sync client. Support for discussion groups and Remote Desktop Search was removed, but may be brought back in a future releases. The new client has some user interface and branding updates and contains several bug fixes including official support for Windows Vista. As of April 2008, FolderShare also no longer supports Windows 2000.

Windows Live Sync had undergone extensive platform upgrades, switching from the original LAMP when it was originally built on and acquired, to the Windows Server platform. New UI improvements were also announced to be part of the Windows Live Sync release, integrating it with other Windows Live services. New features of Windows Live Sync compared to FolderShare include:

• Ability to sync up to 20 folders with 20,000 files each
• Integration with Windows Live ID
• Integration with the Recyle Bin
• New client versions for both Windows and Mac
• Unicode support
• Integration with Windows Live Photo Gallery to sync photo albums between PCs

The FolderShare software has stopped working as Windows Live Sync is released, and users have been asked to upgrade to Sync. After upgrading, Windows Live Sync automatically rebuild the user’s personal folders, however, Sync is unable to rebuild the shared libraries.

Box.net was founded in 2005 as a college business project by Aaron Levie (CEO) and Dylan Smith (CFO). It was incorporated in April of that year. Originally based in Washington, Box.net moved to Palo Alto, California, United States in late 2006.

Box received angel capital from Mark Cuban in 2005, then raised a Series A round of $1.5 million from Draper Fisher Jurvetson in 2006. In late 2007, it raised a Series B round of $6 million from U.S. Venture Partners and Draper Fisher Jurvetson.

Box.net currently has over 2 million users and serves over 1 million files a day. In 2007, Box.net was named a WebWare 100 Award winner in the “Data” category.

Box.net’s product offering was initially consumer-focused. In August 2007, it introduced its Enterprise offering, targeting larger organizations and emphasizing collaboration tools.

In December 2007 the company launched its OpenBox platform, which connects data from Box.net with other applications and services across the web. Included in the launch were online services EchoSign, Autodesk, Zoho, ThinkFree, Scribd, Picnik, Zazzle, Twitter and Myxer.
