I confess. I love Drop.io. I use it often for secure large file transfers. But I think I’m going to be using it a whole lot more now — and for more reasons. While I’ve historically been using the service to send those large files, it can also be a great way to share, distribute, and collaboratively edit media files.

"I feel like the ARG is just a fancier term for guerrilla marketing. Like I said, I don't mind being advertised to, as long as you call an ad an ad — not an ARG." This illustrates the main problem with ARGs - that they're used to sell something that's not the ARG itself. Expect a blog post soon...
