Drop.io says Facebook has bought most of its technology and assets and that founder Sam Lessin will now join Facebook. The Drop.io service itself will shut down. ## Facts - Kind: [Page](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/kinds/page/) ## Same host - [The 'Dancing Baby' Lawsuit Will Shape Future of Fair Use](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/ebce5fb97a16/) (gigaom.com, October 30, 2010) - [Jume: Getting Things Done With Your Friends](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/130d7d231f5b/) (gigaom.com, November 2, 2010) - [Like Democracy, the Web Needs to be Defended, Its Creator Says](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c38cd5e615d7/) (gigaom.com, November 19, 2010) - [ProPublica Takes Press+ Out For A Spin](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/7f37578e8730/) (gigaom.com, November 22, 2010) - [Lonely Planet's Digital Director Brough Leaving](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0ce980d61cfe/) (gigaom.com, November 24, 2010) ## Saved the same week - [Research Links Personality Traits to TV Viewing Habits](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/cac54ffa45b1/) (adage.com, November 1, 2010) - [FoodPress](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/fb7de92974ea/) (foodpress.com, November 1, 2010) - [User Interface - Stack Exchange](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a7151fb512ca/) (ux.stackexchange.com, November 1, 2010) - [15 Secrets of iMovie ’11](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b55e5552169e/) (tidbits.com, November 1, 2010) - [Jume: Getting Things Done With Your Friends](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/130d7d231f5b/) (gigaom.com, November 2, 2010) ## Elsewhere - Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://gigaom.com/2010/10/30/419-facebook-buys-file-sharing-service-drop-io/
