I received invites to two new releases this week: Fluxiom, which bills itself as the solution to file chaos; and Boxxet, a new “best of” aggregator.
Fluxiom is a web-based digital asset management tool and claims to be the easiest way for people to share, store, and search their media libraries. Okay, that sounds all well and good, but it monetises these features through fairly hefty monthly fees: 9 Euros for 200MB up to 169 Euros for 8000MB [$11 to $208]. Limited 30 day free trials are now available.
Although not exactly a direct competitor, these prices will undoubtedly be compared to Flickr’s pro account (2GB upload/mo for $2).
Boxxet, pronounced ‘Box Set’, is a collection of specialised memediggers, where users decide the Box Score of various news stories and blog postings. Right now it all appears very experimental, but they do have box sets covering sports (MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL), television, and US universities (inc. MIT)
UPDATE: Mashable have followed with a mention of Fluxiom.
I have often seen reminiscences of people I have never even heard of, and I fail to see -- because I do not happen to be a 'Somebody' -- why my blog should not be interesting. My only regret is that I did not commence it when I was a youth.
