...I want to know what makes Peerflix better than MediaChest.

How does guzzlefish compare with mediachest - http://www.mediachest.com/?

You must have sigs turned off - his sig is:

Check out the best P2P sharing website: MEDIACHEST.COM

Best place to find music, through your actual people-to-people networking skills. I love using this service to trade music with others that live near me, or through the mail with people a little further away. Check it out!

Publish your collection!

This still has no effect on my offline music/gaming/movie sharing ...

http://www.mediachest.com./

It's free, it's simple, and you get to meet new people in your area with your same interests.

You all need to get your butts over to MEDIACHEST.COM http://www.mediachest.com/ and start trading your music, DVDs, CDs, and Books there.

(This is not a plug, I don't work for them or get paid by them)

Basically, you catalog your collection of stuff using their amazon-like lookup functions, and then other people can search your collections (they find you by Groups, by Zip Code, etc) and then you trade with them any way you want (in person, by mail, etc).

This service is excellent because the RIAA and MPAA and FBI and whomever else cannot I repeat CANNOT get you on law breaking. As the 'swapping' happens offline, they have no way to find out about it.

Please give it a shot, if this website takes off the world be a happier place.

There is an entire site based around the idea that cuecats can be useful. All you have to do is take a cheap piece of technology such as a cuecat, and find a use for it that actually makes sense.

Mediachest allows you to use your cuecat to scan in your collection of DVDs, Games, CDs, and Books to create a catalog and then enable real life file sharing(trading/lending out items you own with people near you for items that you want) that can never be shut down by the RIAA or MPAA.

Semacodes could be very useful in the near future as well. The right application in the right environment is all you need. I scan see them being very useful in museums and places where you can use your phone as an interactive guide based on items you are looking at.

I think the key issue here is that they are trying to make it easier for people with cell phones to put in URLs. I'd much rather scan a semacode than type a long url.

I help run a website that has social networking aspects, Mediachest.com and have looked around at all the other social networking sites, and they don't really seem to offer much. They either try to replace existing communities with a site that has fewer features than the original or they are worthless, slow lists of people who are essentially strangers. Sure, it is nice if you want to look at profiles of girls without having to pay to contact them, but are any of the sites any more useful than that? Mediachest is more about finding new people and sharing items. It is like the distributed library project but centralized so it is easier to find things. Social networking can be very valuable when trying to find a DVD to watch or a book to borrow. Social networking can be more than just dating.

Mediachest.com promotes file sharing the old fashioned way. You find someone near you and borrow stuff from them. It makes sense because if you live in a dorm, there are so many people you can share with.

Mediachest is another social software / friendster type site that allows you to create real-life P2P borrowing networks out of the physical items that you own. It supports integration into existing online and offline communities through its group system, and doubles as an inventory tracking site with public lists of what you own so that you can show them off to your friends or members of web forums you frequent.

I have been using MediaChest to keep track of my dvds, games, cds, and books. It works pretty well and also supports group features and sharing.

I have all my media (CD's, DVD's, Games that are on one of those two media) in the big flip books w/ zippers for easy access. I keep track of the CD's DVD's Games and Books I own using a website called Mediachest.com. I used to use DVD profiler but then I found Mediachest and switched because it offers the ability to keep track of everything you own, not just DVD's.

I keep my cds and books, etc, on my bookshelf with numbers corresponding the id on the database tracking program I use (mediachest.com).

There's a site called mediachest.com which lets you keep track of what dvds, games, cds, and books you own, then see what your friends own and it lets you create sharing networks between yourself and friends and people you know.
The relevancy here is that because your collection is in the site's database, you have the ability to find other people with similiar interests and those can be narrowed down to people local to you (close to a certain postal code). It even lets you find like minded people based on what school you go to.
