I Dream of Genie

SendGenie is a slick new app (currently in open beta testing) which makes sharing files and photos as easy as dragging and dropping. Once installed, SendGenie adds a dropzone widget to your desktop which you can hide and unhide via the system tray icon. When you want to zap a file to a friend, just drag it onto the dropzone. Your file will be added to a send queue, and you can then choose the people you want to send the file (or files) to. Works with PC or Mac.
