Sharing Files With Your Network

I've been asking for this for YEARS! From the first days of Groove, Grouper, Friendster, etc... All I want is to be able to share my music and videos with a few friends and family...

now, we are getting CLOSER!

Exaroom Launches Profile Pages, File Sharing for MySpace - Mashable!

As Peter says on Mashable:

""
San Francisco-based Exaroom began as a service for sharing files from your PC - today they’ve added profile pages and widgets, turning Exaroom into a file-sharing site crossed with a social network. At the core of the idea is Ground Control, a download for Windows users (no Mac support yet) that lets you select files and folders to be shared with your friends - this allows them to view your photos, play your music and download files to their own machines. The social networking element adds a new twist: you can create a profile page with a choice of themes, upload photos to a gallery (via a web interface or the Ground Control software), insert YouTube videos, add some info about yourself and write a blog.

So how does the social network connect to the file sharing? Well, any friends you add on the network are given access to the shared files on your computer. After clicking a widget on your profile that looks like a computer monitor, your friends will be taken to a page that displays all your files in a tree structure.
