Other then Facebook, there are different social network aiming on different niche , today I just find out this Dropbox based social network – Frenzy. So what is Frenzy ? it allow you to connect with your friend which having access on your Dropbox shared folder. Example if I created a folder in my Dropbox account and share it with my friend for some file exchange purpose, if both of us are using Frenzy , then we can share message/url/files through Frenzy.

The developer that build Frenzy is the same guy that develop Dropzone , I guess this application won’t be stop development half way like some of the new mac application. One thing I would really like to find out is how to monetize this application and will Dropbox support of this ?

While poking around the new interface i saw this tab call “Getting Started”, it show me a check list which i need to complete in order to become Dropbox Guru and what i miss is only the first step – “Take the Dropbox tour”. Once i completed the tour and become a Dropbox Guru , i find out that i have earn another 250MB space to my account.

The free basic plan is come with 2G space, you can refer friend and each friend will allow you to gain additional 250MB ( up to 3GB ) , of course if you can afford , their pro plan $9.99 for 50GB is a great bargain too.

If you havent become Dropbox guru and need a litttle more space, login your account and complete now, if you don’t have a dropbox account , you can use my refer link to register , so that both of us can gain the bonus space.

So how i plan for using this ? recently i have found my favourite mind map applicaiton , but it is a desktop version of mind map application, that’s why i plan to use dropbox to sync the mindmap,in this way i can view/edit the same set of mindmap every place. For syncing my idea folder to my dropbox folder ( only files that inside dropbox folder will sync) , i have found Sync Files and Folders Outside Your My Dropbox Folder , follow the instruction i have key in

ln -s Documents/ideas Dropbox/ideas

the folder does show in dropbox folder but it seem like the folder didn’t create properly. It keep sync and remove and this are showing my log.

after trying and re-read the lifehacker post again, finally i resolve this by

ln -s ~/Documents/ideas ~/Dropbox/ideas

you need to define the full path of the folder, in order to make it work and now the folder syncing my mindmap properly and i m able to edit it every where ( as long as my netbook and connection is available ).If you haven’t sign up a dropbox account, i suggest you to do it now, it seem like got lots of feature and lots of way to play it, maybe i should write a review soon.
