Host files in a flash with Localhostr

Need a fast and easy way to put a file on the Web for later retrieval? With Localhostr, it’s a three-step process: Select a file to upload (images, documents, and archives as large as 7MB are supported), upload it, then copy one of the three resulting links: a standard URL, an HTML-formatted link, and even BBcode.

The site (currently in beta) doesn’t offer any promises of security, and at present there’s no information about the company that offers the service.

Kongregate: a Next Generation Web Games Marketplace

Kongregate is an alpha stage online gaming site that will let users upload games they have built, charge users for premium play or features with a one click payment system and share revenues with the site from premium payment and advertisements. The company aims to take the site live just after the holiday season.

Kongregate will offer between 25% and 50% of ad revenue to game contributers, depending on how closely and exclusively the game is integrated into the Kongregate site. 80% of revenue from in-game microtransactions will go to the game creator.

MyBlogLog: Readers Network Around Their Favorite Blogs

MyBlogLog is a social networking system for blog readers to connect and learn about each other around their favorite blogs - and for blog publishers to access detailed information about their readers. Founded in March of 2005, the site relaunched this morning and took its social networking features out of beta stage. The company says it is currently serving 4000 live blog-based communities.

The service lets users associate themselves with their favorite blogs, build a profile page about themselves and send internal messages. By default MyBlogLog users join the community of a site using MyBlogLog after ten visits to that site, but you can increase that number or require manual joining. Blog publishers can show a badge on their site with pictures of the most recent MyBlogLog members to visit the site and can display the five most popular outbound links from their blog on the blog community page. Click on any of our readers’ pictures at the bottom of this post and you can see what an individual’s page looks like. Thanks for reading everyone!

There’s currently no advertising on the site but MyBlogLog sells subscriptions to click analytics for $3 per month or $25 per year. Analytics leveraging user demographics are the next level things can be taken, the company told me.
