I certainly wouldn't mind a version that had a price tag attached to it or hit me with several ads each time upon signing in, although ideally I'd prefer to pay than to be subjected to unwanted ads. Alliance will allow me to share files privately and securely, but there's nothing to compare to Google Hello for quick, easy photo sharing. Dropbox can be made to work in this way, and I guess one could argue that Googledrive can fill this void, but neither of these products can do what Hello did as quickly and effortlessly on the part of the user. *Sigh* and this is called "progress."

I also liked the integrated chat. It's probably the closest one can get to passing around photos from a distance. Though it was technically more interactive than that.<br />I hope a real replacement comes someday soon.benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09841648469952883829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-62433064561885100972012-03-20T18:24:16.901-07:002012-03-20T18:24:16.901-07:00I'm still missing Hello.

Social networking is all the rage nowadays, dozen of startups dealing with sharing are funded every month and nobody comes up with some way of integrating picture sharing and IM in the fluid and dynamic manner that Hello allowed 3 years ago... It just makes me sad... I wish I knew anything about programming. I'd be willing to pay for an Hello-type app and so would many people.
