[…] When Ryan Carson announced that he was putting DropSend up for sale I was very interested to see how it would work out. Here you had a service that had a decent user base that was willing to pay a monthly fee to use. In comparison to other Web 2.0 applications that attempt to live off of Adsense revenue, DropSend showed real potential to be a key component for any company looking to enter the file-sharing space. Two months later and DropSend hasn’t found a buyer yet. […]

[...] Ryan Carson’s decision to sell DropSend may be quite odd - especially if it’s as profitable as they are making it seem. I can understand the need to focus on other, higher priority projects, but merely dumping off a product that is profitable and has huge potential to grow smells slightly fishy in my book. I’m willing to bet the margin of growth each month is starting to decline and the grass isn’t as green as Carson Systems would want you to believe. Even more mystifying is the fact that Flock is in discussions about the purchase. I understand why - online file storage via your browser fits directly into their ‘vision’ of how the web should work. What I don’t understand is how - it’s apalling to me a company with no product or business plan could raise enough funding (Anyone know how much they raised? A quick TechCrunch search didn’t provide any relevant topics.) to continue Flock, much less purchase other products! [...]
