Are you a teacher? If you are then you are probably a pack rat! Something about the profession makes us keep stuff "in case I ever need it for a lesson" If you are a TechnoTeacher, you are probably a digital pack rat. There are lots of ways out there for hoarding our digital clouds, but there is now one that's in the cloud. Hordit.com claims unlimited storage for whatever you want. It's servers are there to serve. You can create an account, and upload anything you want. It also has features for sharing your hoard with other users. This brings into focus two concerns with the service. By default anything you upload is shared. I went in and immediately changed this. Secondly, you can click on other's shared files and this could potentially expose you to malicious code, malware and viruses.
