Useful Site of the Week

Goes to YouSendIt.com. This nifty site allows you to email files to others up to 1GB in size. How do they do it? First, rather than sending gargantuan emails through corporate email systems, they will upload the file to a secure server location. You then send an email to whomever, and in that email there is a link to the file (rather than waiting at your desk 20 minutes while your email program grinds to a halt trying to receive the file) for the recipient to download. The beauty of it is the UI; it's clean, simple, and does what it promises to do. With the cost of storage so low these days, they might even make a small profit from selling advertising!
