Share Source Code Or Plain Text With Anyone Using PasteBin

When we need to send source code, notes or any other kind of text information to another computer we can normally copy-past it into MS Word or Notepad, save that file in a pen drive and carry it to another computer. Or in case if we need to share it with someone on internet you can simply send them via email, IM, Facebook Massages, etc.

But if you want to share text with large number of people over internet then there is a web application called PasteBin. PasteBin lets you share any kind of text online with anyone. It is basically made for programmers who always need to share source code of their project with a group of people or with unknown people online.

You can also use to it to share more than 140 characters on Twitter, simply type your text and create a paste then type the snippet of that text in Twitter and at the end add PasteBin URL.
