Yeah, we could do SO much with that presentation. It was put together very fast because people didn't understand what we do. And you know what? They still don't :) We're working on it as we speak, and sometime next week we're presenting a completely different front page.

As a test to what we do, try sharing 30 random audio and video files. Then immediately open the Ge.tt link in another browser (or another computer). You can choose any file you want and start streaming or downloading the file. It does not need to be uploaded first. Also, does not need flash or java.

That doesn't really make it less of a security threat. Sites still don't know how to secure it. On my own site we do the same, and have no other answer but end-to-end encryption which we then charge for.
