RapidShare

RapidShare

One of the fastest growing websites in the world, is RapidShare - and I was very surprised to see that it’s currently ranked 12 globally on Alexa. RapidShare allows users to quickly and easily upload files and share them without having to register a user account. RapidShare’s daily reach has exceed Facebook & Hi5 - not bad for a company that only launched less than a year ago. It’s currently a very simple file sharing tool, but many people are using it, so I’m interested to see how they evolve the business going forward. This is definitely one to watch out for.

Update: Here is the Alexa chart comparing Hi5, FaceBook & RapidShare.

    A year ago? I thought Rapidshare was around forever? That’s crazy.

    Well, based on the Alexa chart I’ve just linked to the post, they barely started a year ago - it may have been longer, but doesn’t look like it.

    Rapidshare.com for about a year but I believe they started over in Europe and Rapidshare.de:

    http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.rapidsh…

    Pushing almost 3 years. I’ve noticed it’s a very popular way people share music and other files.

    Maybe Alexa is counting traffic rather than
    unique visitors?

    There’s an awful lot of bandwidth and
    user requests involved in file sharing.
