File hosters fall, multihosters gain ground


After Megaupload’s shutting down and the buzz created, many other top file-hosters like Filesonic, Fileserve and Filejungle etc. have ceased file sharing fearing the same fate, even if they are located outside USA.

No Sharing !

Right now, 90% of the most important file hosters have terminated their affiliate program, banned most uploaders and deleted the majority of files. We have entered a period of upheaval and yet no one knows which file-hoster will prevail. For someone who wants a premium account the best solution lies in registering to a multihoster website like Zevera. Using such an account gives the user the ability to download from various hosters without needing to create new accounts. Zevera.com is a premium proxy server and not a file hosting website, which means that each user can upload files exclusively for personal use. Have your important files and backups available from anyway in the world!

Megaupload taken down, Little hope for users having no-copyrighted files to get there data back...

One of the most popular online file-hosting/content-locker service Megaupload.com had their servers searched and employees arrested in New Zealand, on January 19 on copyright infringement accounts. To users bad-luck, millions of user-accounts also got locked with this seizure without any possible way to retrieve their files, now there is some ray of hope to legitimate users having non-copyright infringing files in there accounts as Megaupload's hosting company "Carpathia" teams up with Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) to identify legal files and help users retrieve them before all illegal content is purged from the seized servers.

Facebook Launches New Timeline Apps

Facebook is getting better and better. During Facebook's live press event last January 18, the social media mogul announced its new 60 Open Graph app partners. The new set of partners, ranging from food to fitness and from travel to lifestyle, will be working closely with Facebook in approving new apps for the platform. This should elevate Facebook to a whole new different level. According to Facebook, the new apps will give way for greater expression of activities among its users, needless to say, better collaboration and communication as well.

Last year, Facebook laid down its roadmap for 2012 when CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, “The next five years will be defined by the apps and the depth of engagement possible.” If all goes well, marketers and brands will find more opportunities to engage the vast number of Facebook users in the web. Some of the apps available today are Foodspotting, Foodily, Ticketmaster, Pinterest, Rotten Tomatoes, Pose, Kobo, Gogobot, TripAdvisor and many more.

Microsoft Reveals Plan for its New Windows 8 File System

Finally Microsoft breaks the silence. A few officials from the world's leading software company has shared little details about Photogon - a new file system that, according to previous rumors, will be integrated into the forthcoming Windows 8 OS. A previous blog from Microsoft last Monday entitled "Building Windows 8" has revealed the additional details of the big picture when it announced the name ReFS (Resilient File System) as the official name of the new file system they are tediously working on.

Surendra Verma, Development Manager for the Windows Storage and File System Department, explained that prior to the official release of Windows 8, ReFS will start its life cycle as a storage system for the Windows Server. Then it will become a storage system for Windows clients and eventually a boot volume once Windows 8 arrives. Since one of Microsoft's primary goals in developing ReFS is to maintain a high degree of compatibility with a subset of widely used NTFS features while at the same time minimizing the ones with limited value, Microsoft is planning to stop supporting selected NTFS (New Technology File System) features including short names, compression, file level encryption, user data transactions, object IDs, named streams, hard links, sparse, extended attributes and quotas.

Now you can probably still recall that Microsoft has been using NTFS since Windows NT and Windows XP has been released. While NTFS - in all its complexity - might have worked perfectly in the past, in today's web 2.0 world, simplicity is the key. ReFS, also called Photogon, is architected to supplement Windows 8's drive-extender-style storage space. Surendra Verma said, “Underneath this reused portion (the code responsible for implementing the Windows file system semantics), the NTFS version of the code-base uses a newly architected engine that implements on-disk structures such as the Master File Table (MFT) to represent files and directories. ReFS combines this reused code with a brand-new engine, where a significant portion of the innovation behind ReFS lies.”

Wikipedia and Others Shuts Down for a Day to Protest Against SOPA

Lance Ulanoff, the editor in chief of Mashable, probably said it best when he said that implementing the SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) would be like returning to the Dark Ages - back when the World Wide Web hasn't been launched yet and everything for most of us was, well, boring. A few days ago, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales announced that the popular resource site will shut down for 24 hours today, Wednesday, to protest against the SOPA.
