Very Simple Beautiful tools to share data on the Cloud

How many times have we scratched our head when it comes to sharing a portion of text (email, articles or any copied text) or even a huge piece of code with someone quickly over a meeting/messenger? At least I have encountered such a situation many times and the tool that comes to our mind is email. We open our mailbox, enter the addresses (imagine if you have to send it to 20 people!) then attach the file (uh!), and then send it.

Here are couple of simple beautiful apps that I found that lets you share text quickly by placing it on the Cloud. Just open the following URLs, paste the text and voila!, you have a weblink on top that you can just throw at someone who can view your shared text. Simple, beautiful

1. Write.fm: Just paste the text. It is too simple in a way that it doesn’t allow much control over the text. Very handy if you want to scratch something and show it quickly to someone.

2. Pastie.org: Has everything that Write.fm can do and in addition, lets you get control over the actual code that you want to share. You can even specify the code language, highlight text and even mention comments

3. Task.fm: Beautiful cloud based tool that allows you to send simple menssages to your self. What more, it is intelligent with natural language capabilities built inside it which enables the tool to understand if what you are writing is an appointment like “Remind me again at 3:00 PM”.

I think there are more tools like the above which places content on the cloud (of course, privacy has always been an issues with Cloud ). Let me know if you have any in mind that is smarter than the above!
