Sometimes you want to share a file – it could be a picture, a video, whatever.  You want to be able to upload the file somewhere and publish a link to it, for example on Twitter.  Enter Baconfile!

Baconfile is a web service created by Leah Culver (co-founder and the lead developer of now-defunct Pownce).  You create a login, upload a file of your choice and then share the (short) URL.  Basically it’s like TwitPic, only not limited to images.

Baconfile uses Amazon S3 for storage so it’s high availability and low cost, although it does mean that you’ll need to create an S3 account order to use it.  Apparently they’re considering free/paid accounts directly through Baconfile which will eliminate this requirement once it’s a bit more mature.
