Is that supposed to be a joke? #barcamp #wikipedia

Someone suggested the german wikipedia entry for "barcamp"
to be deleted: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp
Obviously someone that doesn't know what a barcamp is or doesn't understand, cause the reasonhe gives is hilarious. translated quote "... no relevance of this discussion group can be made out because there is no public impact... just a nerd-coffee-circle (meet up) not receiving any attention by the outside world...". Is that supposed to be funny?

Droplr (drag, drop, share)

looks good! alternative to tinygrab, quickshareit & dropbox with droplet with some more features. (see old article)
via @pixelgraphix

(edit) after some testing: 

  • nice textsharing (with plain text and markdown syntax)
  • filesharing (zip etc...) 
  • image sharing 
  • all with tiny URLS ( http://drp.ly/ )
  • pretty quick ( although i think tinygrab and drobox are faster )
  • nice UI

what's missing: 

  • deleting uploads (ticket)  see comment
  • see quota (free/used) (ticket)
