Pogoplug partners with Seagate to power the FreeAgent DockStar, adds Facebook and Twitter sharing

The Pogoplug has been loved by several Gadgetell writers from the time we stumbled upon them during CES 2009 and since then they have only gotten better. Now the latest announcement coming from Pogoplug has them partnering with Seagate.

The partnership means that the Pogoplug service is going to soon power the FreeAgent DockStar from Seagate. That alone sounds good, especially for Seagate fans and even better is that the Pogoplug team was quick to point out that the “DockStar set up is as simple as the Pogoplug device.” And for anyone that has not yet used a Pogoplug — it is about as simple as it could be.

Moving forward, FreeAgent DockStar users can expect to find the same features that we have come to love from Pogoplug which include full web access, sharing through email or RSS, local drive support as well as an iPhone application.

In addition to the current sharing through email and RSS, Pogoplug users will also soon be able to share using social networks such as Twitter, Facebook and MySpace. With this, users will be able to do things like publish links to their home hard drive which will allow friends and family members a direct look. Of course, depending on who is or who you are following those links this feature should most likely be used with some caution.
