In just a couple of days, Virgin America Airlines and Google are teaming up for the “Day in the Cloud Challenge.”  While literally up in the clouds, Virgin is hoping to highlight their in-flight wi-fi access by allowing flyers to compete in this Cloud Computing scavenger hunt (though we Earth-dwelling mammals will get to participate too).

From their site:

On June 24th, we hope you’ll join us from the ground or onboard any Virgin America flight for the Day in the Cloud challenge, a scavenger hunt unlike any you’ve ever clicked through. All you’ll need is a net connection, a Google Account, and the warm, comforting glow of your computer screen.

It will be interesting to see what comes of this, but nice to see non-tech companies embracing our beloved Cloud.  We’ll all get our heads (and directory structures) up there soon enough.

When it was announced that DivShare was for sale in late 2007, the tech blog TechCrunch put the site into their “Deadpool,” assuming the end was near.  But DivShare was actually doing quite well, providing a valuable service to a large and always growing user base, the whole time growing the infrastructure to match.

When DivShare was bought by 3Sixty Enterprises, we talked with TechCrunch, and convinced them that not only was DivShare not dead, but was storming into the future with a serious strategic vision. It is our customers who will benefit most.  Check out the latest TechCrunch article, 3Sixty Fishes DivShare Out of the Deadpool

Our Facebook application allows you to integrate your DivShare account into Facebook and to easily share files with your friends and co-workers. Our goal when creating this app was to add something useful to Facebook amid a sea of other applications that, while entertaining, didn’t offer much in the way of productivity. PC Mag recently counted down the 9 best Facebook apps with DivShare receiving the honor of “the most useful app”.

Share music, videos, homework assignments, or whatever else—all through Facebook. Trade documents at work through DivShare—and when your boss catches you using Facebook, you can point out how productive you’re being.

Previously, ZDNet called DivShare one of the best Facebook apps for business and Lifehacker included it on their most productive apps list. If you haven’t already, you can add our application by heading over to our home on Facebook.

Have an idea for improving our application on Facebook or for another app? Shoot us an email and we’ll check it out!

Last night we rolled out a brand new DivShare home page as well as a bunch of new features, which we’ll describe in more detail over the next few posts. The news also earned us a glowing post on TechCrunch, one of the web’s most influential technology blogs. Here’s an excerpt:

Most of those services stop being free when you need extra space or extra bandwidth. Honestly it is really hard to find out your way in the jungle. But if you are a heavy user or are only interested in hosting and controlling sharing options you might want to consider a one-stop shop like DivShare that has been here a for few months. They are starting to release today a series of innovations that will make the service more unique and attractive.

And another great review on VentureBeat, plugging our latest upgrades:

DivShare, one of the best in the ever expanding mass of mostly undifferentiated file hosting and sharing services, has just added a flash-based document viewer to its offerings, which include photo slideshow, video, and music players.

A great plug from Lifehacker today, which listed DivShare among the best Facebook apps to improve productivity online.

There are thousands of Facebook apps floating around out there, most of them about as useful as a fish on a bicycle. However, there are some diamonds among the coal - and these are the ones you can use to launch your Facebook profile into the efficiency stratosphere.

Less than 24 hours after launching the DivShare Facebook App, 160 people have added the application, and bloggers are diggin’ it. Here’s what people are saying:

Download Squad:

Another recent leader in the race to Facebook is DivShare. They have jumped on board and added the ability to send documents, photos, music and videos to friends in Facebook. With the DivShare Facebook application users can choose to send files to individuals, post them in profiles or add them to news feeds. It’s an easy way to share files to people in a network.

Mashable:

This application is very easy to use, and enables a level of privacy that is somewhat more complicated to achieve with Facebook alone.

CyberNet News:

You can post your files to the news feed – if there’s something you want all of your friends to see like a video, song, or image, this is the perfect way to notify the masses.

Make sure you add the application, if you haven’t already, and stay tuned to the blog for some big announcements in the next few days.

Check out today’s great article on VentureBeat, DivShare Makes Online File Hosting Cool. Couldn’t have said it better ourselves!

Check out a great article over at AZfamily.com, where Catherine Holland describes her ongoing backup woes and the online savior she has found in DivShare. It’s a long and wildly positive article — thanks Catherine!

Created and run by the good folks at Diversion Web Publishing, a Web design and hosting company, DivShare bills itself as “the Internet’s new virtual hard drive,” and promises “unprecedented freedom and simplicity.”

They just might be right.

DivShare, which opened its servers in on Dec. 18, 2006, is wicked easy to use. (Easy enough, I think my techno-challenged sister could do it.) …

Clearly DivShare is doing something right. Make that many things.

Rock on, Catherine, and thanks for linking to those pictures of your cat. For the full article, head over to the original post at AZfamily.com — ‘A cure for the backup bug.’
