Web 2.0 Round 2 - Week 1: Box.net

On to the next round of learning!

I liked Box.net - especially the ability to create & store documents on the site. This would be useful for people who do not have access to Microsoft Word or similar, so would recommend it to customers - and it is free! Also, it would be an easy way to share files instead of e-mail, for example if there was a group of people requiring access to a document. The ability to edit (simply), save & print is also a bonus.
Uploading was quick & simple (once over the initial settings glitch), in fact the whole site was easy to use & navigate. Once again I would be hesitant to upload anything personal (as with any site) as I am basically very reluctant to share anything on line that could be used by people of doubtful integrity.
