Today we are excited to announce integration with one of our favorite Mac apps: Feeds.

Feeds runs in your desktop menu bar and keeps you updated with web services like Basecamp, Github, Dribbble, and more. Now with Dropmark support, you can stay up-to-date with all of your important information in one place.

Feeds will notify you of incoming collection invites, items from your collaborators, and even allows you to quickly preview contents without having to open a browser window or e-mail. With optional keyboard shortcuts and desktop notifications, you can be productive and informed at the same time.

Yesterday was our big launch, and we were delighted to see Lifehacker post a nice article and introductory video.

Dropmark offers super simple drag-and-drop file sharing…but if you want to use it for more you can create presentations, slideshows, and collaborate with others just as easily…

Overall, Dropmark is a really fun and simple way to put together online collections of all sorts of things, whether that means files you’ve uploaded or various types of content from the web.

If you are new to Dropmark, the Lifehacker video gives a nice overview as well as a look at some of the new features such as moving items across collections.

Watch it on Lifehacker or Dropmark.tv.

We are thrilled to announce integration with Courier—a new way to upload to Dropmark.

Available from the Mac App Store, Courier by Realmac Software (makers of RapidWeaver, Clear for iPhone, and more) is a beautiful, lightweight app that allows you to upload files from your desktop to a number of web services.

With Courier, you can now Dropmark from your Mac without opening a web browser. Also simutaneously upload files to other destinations including Facebook, Flickr, Tumblr, Vimeo, YouTube, and even FTP.

Thanks to Dropmark’s built-in RSS feeds, you can easily turn a collection into a custom photo screensaver on both Mac and Windows.

In this example, we’ll be using a photo collection we created in an earlier post. Any public Dropmark collection containing images will work.

Here’s how to do it:

Over the past few weeks, we’ve made our way through our sign up list and sent out invites to thousands of new beta users (if you signed up and didn’t see your invite, it might be sitting in your spam folder).

We are thrilled to be featured in today’s Infographic of the Day on Fast Company’s Co. Design.

If you’re already using Dropmark, you’ve probably noticed that each collection you create lives within your own unique subdomain (ie. you.dropmark.com).

Your collection is also free from logos, ads, and social media, so you can feel confident that what you create in Dropmark is yours.

Make a collection public, and you instantly have a simple microsite that you can share (with your own personalized subdomain). Share your work in a professional way, whether it’s with your team, your clients, or even your mom.

Gather some videos and create a quick demo reel. Drop in a few images (or websites) along with an external contact link to create a dead-simple design portfolio. Curate a collection of interesting websites without the hassle of setting up a blog. Anything you want.

Want to take it a step further? Register your own domain name and forward it to your public Dropmark URL. Every domain registrar is a bit different, so check with them for instructions on setting this up.
