Wixi is one of the companies that presented at Techcrunch40 last year and are back this year as an alumni member. Wixi provides online storage using a desktop interface. You can share uploaded content with others but they can only view the content which makes it more secure than sharing via other methods.

Wixi will begin to charge for their service on October 1st so go signup now if you want a free account for life.

Here’s co-founder and CEO Arthur Madrid with a demo of Wixi:

These demos are the Rich Media and Mashups selected for TechCrunch40.  These notes are live.
