  1. Hope it does better than Trepia by popeydotcom · · Score: 1 · on YouTube Receives $3.5M Funding from Sequoia

    Trepia - the 'iChat on crack' geograpically-based instant messenger - was co-started by the same guy as YouTube.

    Trepia never really got going. Partly due to a small userbase (compared with every other IM), windows-only client (it *just* worked under WINE), and pretty poor location detection (you had to tell it where you are).

    Looks like Meetro are taking over that spot, although I note they don't have non-windows clients either.

  4. Be caeful, very careful in using this software by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Interesting · on Trepia: A Buddy List Of Strangers

    In the website of Trepia, it is mentioned "Trepia(TM) is free to use and contains no spyware or ads." But you know what: Jawed Karim, one the authors mentioned in the article, wrote another piece of code called MP3 Voyeur. Now, in MP3 Voyeur, which searches for MP3s and other media files within LANs, there is a feature that connect to his personal web server every time it was run. If it could not connect to the server, it would refuse to run! Now, coming from such an author, this tool looks a bit suspicious.

    So, someone might want to fire up Ethereal and sniff those packets flying from your machines.

  6. web-controlled robot by napsterposter · · Score: 1 · on Remote Telemetry With Your PC?

    Here is a pretty good setup of a web-controlled robot. You can send instructions for robotic movement from the browser and there's streaming video for feedback. http://www.jawed.com/camera/
