Distributed Computing for Tracking Net Problems?

Posted by Cliff on from the how-effective-would-it-be dept.

Osrin asks: "A software firewall package that came with a recent computer purchase is using a site called MyNetWatchman to track, catalog and escalate firewall incidents back to ISPs. I was wondering what Slashdot readers think of this type of solution and which other Internet problems it would lend itself to helping resolve?"

    Yeah! Like... WinAmp! AOL really ruined that!

    Oh, wait, no, thats wrong... Winamp 3 may have been stupid, but that wasn't AOL's fault.

    Anyway, thats the only counterexample I could come up with, so take that as you will.
