Aptonic Dropzone

Dropzone hacks the dock to give you a pop over menu that is easily accessed. The functionality it provides comes down to two things:

  2. Drag and drop scripts for things such as quick uploads to Cloud app, Flickr, Dropbox, and folders on your local machine.

Here’s a screencast of how you can use Dropzone to turn highlighted text into a Gist:

It’s worth it at the regular price of $14 bucks anyway, but if you are reading this today (2011-08-23) then go get Dropzone for a 30% discount ($9.79) at Mupromo.
