YouSendIt Gets More Useful

In talking about collaboration and the transfer of large files, I usually mention YouSendIt as my single-file transfer site of choice. (I now prefer drop.io for giving others access to multiple files). Now they've gone and made it even easier to use, through various plugins that are being developed. Currently they have an Outlook plugin, that, when installed on your computer, keeps watch for emails that attached files bigger than a certain size (you can set the size). When that happens, YouSendIt automatically transfers the file, rather than your email server. They're also planning plugins for Thunderbird as well as browser plugins that allow you to use it with web-based email like Yahoo. This makes it so much easier to send large files, removing the necessity of having to visit the actual website to sign in and send the file manually. Very handy.
