ZenOK Offer Free Online Backup with 21GB storage


ZenOK  was founded by Ron Hessing in 2005 on the belief that data is the most valurable asset people and businesses own today. ZenOK have recently increased their free back up from 2GB to 21GB of storage.

“Online Backup for everyone! It is free and remains free, forever!”

Ron Hessing – Founder (August 15th, 2011)

ZenOK is an experiment in a new kind of Online Backup built on the idea that you should never have to lose your documents, spreadsheets and photos (again), and you should always be able to access the file you want.

I know the feeling of losing important data –  it is not good!  I had a damaged hard drive which took a hell of a lot of work to retrieve some documents and files that I hadn’t backed up. I eventually used Ubuntu live CD to recover the lost data – it worked but it was lucky.  Now I am much more conscious of backing things up.  I don’t put all of my eggs in one basket either, just incase that fails.  So these online backup systems are of great use, especially when they offer so much space.  I think this is the largest free online storage available, most of the time its 5gb’s or you have to pay.  - Correct me if I am wrong.

ZenOK claim to already have 10’000 active users on their system, and I’ve seen no complaints about this service – which is always a good indication.

40.000 photos, 25.000 songs, 150.000 docs.

Twitter.com down for 2 hours – so far!


Some people are experiencing downtime on Twitter.com – with this message only:

Something is technically wrong.

Thanks for noticing—we’re going to fix it up and have things back to normal soon.

You can  however connect via 3rd party applications like Tweetdeck or Hootesuite, so all is not lost :)  But we do seem to be seeing slow tweets and especially DM’s taking ages to come through.

While the only information Twitter status gives is this ….

I just hope they are not removing OLD TWITTER as I love it still !

Hope this helps, if you were wondering what was going on.
