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 ;)

    Oh wow! Maybe one day when this technology is mature, we'll be able to store files on our "homespace". What??? Morpheus, Kazaa, and Bearshare already do this?

    Ok.. so, it's interactive. So is IRC. Anyone played Tanks???

    I'm sure that this will eventually turn into something meaningful, but right now it's of little interest. Let me know when it's 3d...

    Why do you so-called editors feel the need to make such smarmy comments before posting articles? Your inflated self-worth must cloud your judgement.

    I want to remind you that LNUX is about $.90 per share. When it delists your options will be worth about...hmmm, let's see...NOTHING! You really need to keep your ego in check.

    By the way, your idiotic, winking emoticon does not absolve you of the insult you levied.

    P.S. I have noticed that Michael has gotten the hint, since the lashing he got for this .

    P.P.S. The comments by users on Slashdot are interesting, but the design is silly. ;)
