uServ -- P2P Webserver from IBM

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the not-to-be-confused-with-serv-u dept.

They claim the system, which works from behind firewalls and when you are offline (provided you can convince other peers to 'replicate' your site), is in active use by about 900 people within IBM. Here's the white paper."

    Only AOL Time Warner Turner, News Corp, Verizon and Oprah should be allowed to make Web pages.

    Everyone else doing it will just mess stuff up!

    The responsible executive has been dispatched to your home, to personally apologize to you for not living up to your expectations. Afterwards, he will commit seppuku.
