Customer Spotlights – A Few Great Stories

July 8, 2011

We recently have been reaching out to our base to hear their YouSendIt Success Stories. We have had so many great stories come back I had to share a few. And we always love to hear more, so feel free to post your own YouSendIt story in the comments.

“YouSendIt has become a vital tool in our ability to assist customers.  As the Technical Support Supervisor for a Battery Monitoring Company sometimes we have to send various data files, of varying sizes and formats, to customers.  We send .pdf files, .doc, .zip files, sometimes .exe files for software updates, and other data files used for our software.  YouSendIt allows us to easily interact with our end-users and customers and give them the information they need quickly, reliably, and from Outlook.  We have found that YouSendIt is much more reliable than using a customer email server in relaying the information to the customers as their server will block or sometimes unintentionally corrupt the data files. Every Support Engineer in our company has a YouSendIt account so that we can quickly get information to our customers.  It will always be a vital part of our business.” Chris, Technical Support

“We are a small publishing agency that represents living classical composers. People often contact us looking for musical works to consider for programming with orchestras and opera companies. They want to look at the score and listen to the piece, which we can oblige them by sending a PDF file of the score and an MP3 file of the recording. We don’t want to post these files on a public website, but prefer to have people contact us so we know who is making the request. And these files are generally too large for regular email.

YouSendIt is the perfect solution for us. We use Outlook as a mail client, so whenever we send a file over 1MB we automatically get a prompt asking if we want to use YouSendIt. Select “yes” and it uploads the file automatically, creates a link in the email, and puts a 7 day time limit on the file. We really like that, so our copyrighted works are not sitting on a server where anyone can download them forever; the link expires. It’s simple, easy, efficient, and scalable as our business changes and grows. There are other services out there that are similar, but I’ve yet to see one that works as well as YouSendIt. They seem to have a solid understanding of what people need and how to make it practical and easy. I recommend it to anyone who needs to send a large file to someone else. In other words, to everyone I know.” – Bill, Publishing

“I’m a time manager because I have to be. I wear multiple hats. I’m a court reporter and business owner, wife/minister’s wife with numerous responsibilities, local and long-distance proactive grandmother of five – and crazy about every one of them!  I’m also an author, speaker, columnist, and talk-show host in my spare time.  In every arena I operate, voluminous documents, pictures, media packets, audio and video files are uploaded and downloaded almost daily. Before discovering the beauty of YouSendIt, my time was bogged down, along with my computer.  YouSendIt freed me! It is amazing the speed at compressing multiple large files, as well as sending them across the hall or around the world! YouSendIt maximizes my time, and in today’s world time must be productive.” – Joyce, Court Reporting

The History of the Camera

May 10, 2011

Cameras were first seen around 1,000 A.D., where you could only see an image through a hole that you then had to trace. Now through smart phones you get instant gratification to print and share your pictures to anyone on the web. As a kid I remember only having disposable cameras, where you hope everything came out the way you remembered it. Now using my iPhone I can upload images to twitter, email them to family, and post them to my Facebook account. On Mashable you can see the evolution of the camera, and be thankful none of us have to go back to disposable cameras ever again.

Tell us about your first camera and the “high-tech” features it had at the time; for example my first camera was a Fuji, where you had to put in the film yourself in the back, then wait a week to develop the film…I don’t miss it.
