File-Sharing Service Min.us Moves to Minus.com, Adds New Features

The service paid 5,000 for the new domain name ‘Minus.com’

Earlier this year we introduced you a new service called Minus – a cloud-based, smart, clear-cut file sharing platform where users can upload and share all types of files including videos,music, images, documents etc in a very simple, attractive and efficient way (and for free).

Now the service which previously had Min.us as its primary domain name bought the Minus.com domain name. However, since the min.us domain will not be abandoned (all existing links will continue to work as before) those who prefer the old domain can still use it as such.

“(…) as we have grown, it’s become apparent that some of our users find the .us top level domain to be confusing. As we brand our service with the Minus name, we want to be as accessible as possible to all users and make it easy for users to find us.

So today we are excited to announce that we have acquired the Minus.com name, and we will use that as our primary domain name going forward,” reads the blog.

Besides switching to a new domain, the drag-and-drop service has also added new features and updated its apps.

Here are some improvements that Minus made available recently as listed by Cloudtweaks:

- brand new Android app
- brand new Desktop app for Windows/Mac/Linux
- brand new Firefox 6 + Chrome 12 extension
- Improved UI for Minus.com main web interface and better profiles on minus.com

The announcement further reads:

“ Given that Minus is used widely to share content on Twitter and social media sites – where every character counts – we are going to continue to use Min.us for links to shortlinks for user galleries, files, photos and more. All existing links will work and redirect properly, but Minus.com will now serve as the default domain. If Min.us is your preferred URL, nothing will change for you.

Today’s change marks the beginning of some exciting developments for Minus. There’s a lot of work to be done, but we’re excited to start this new chapter with all of our users. Thank you for your continued loyalty, and please, continue to give us your feedback. We rely on it to make our service better.”
