P2P Roaming Chat

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the snowcrash-anyone dept.

fexter writes "A coder called Brendan Reville has released BrendanLand, which he claims is "the world's first peer2peer application where each participant serves their own piece of geography in the overall world." Basically, everyone walks around and chats. But each person gets to design their own piece of land, and everyone roams between these lands. It's all free, and the website has lots of technical notes and a developer diary." Oviously this is hugely basic stuff, but conceptually there is a lot of potential cool ideas. But for now it looks just silly ;)

    Either 'Personal Digital Assistant' (ie Palm Pilot) or 'Public Display of Affection'. I'd assume he meant the former, but there's no reason you can't graffito tag the teenagers making out on the park bench...

    ...no, I won't go there, b/c that's not funny anymore.

    I'd like to see him patent this. Now *that* would be funny.

    Please tell me that no one that is posting in this discussion takes this as a serious piece of software.
