If you've ever needed to send a file to somebody, but it was too big for e-mail or DropBox, you may have looked at services like YouSendIt. However, if you're concerned about the file being stored on a third-party server and somebody other than the intended recipient getting it, then perhaps you've been wary of services like that.
If so, then justbeamit is for you. It initiates a peer-to-peer connection between you and the recipient, allowing you to monitor the transfer in real time and avoiding the need to store it on a server somewhere. Once you close your browser window or navigate away from the page, the link to the file is invalidated.

Google Wave
If e-mail was invented today, Google Wave is what it would look like. It combines the best of e-mail, instant messaging and online collaboration into one tool.
I've used it to track information for a major project and collaborate/share with other people involved with the project. It's great for collaborating on something as simple as a grocery list or as complex as planning a vacation.
Google Wave is vastly superior to ordinary e-mail and, if marketed and developed correctly, could eventually become more widely used than e-mail. It is my hope that it does, because the current e-mail system is based on a protocol developed in 1982, before there was Spam. It's a very trusting protocol, which is why fighting Spam is such a massive effort. Google Wave fixes that problem and many more.
Right now it's in beta and not open to the general public. However, I have some invitations left if you're interested in getting a Google Wave account. Just let me know.
