If you want your photos on Facebook, divvyshot is the best way to get them there, as well as the best way for Facebook users to receive them, but I'm not sure how much of the functionality is in beta/secret.

There's a much simpler reason. You can't test-drive a car online. One wouldn't need to. One could test drive a car at a dealership. I'm not sure how that's a simpler reason than the fact that selling new cars without a dealer is banned

I just found tape from that day, and edited it over the past three. See Justin.TV one week after launch. Also, see the first 'office' of Dropbox and Xobni in California. It's very funny, and shows why I want to live in California.
