Blog Torrent Beta Released
chatooya writes "Downhill Battle has released the first public preview of Blog Torrent a "simplified" BitTorrent package that they developed because, "Making it easy to blog large video files means that people can share their home movies the same way they share their photos or writings." Features include: integrated torrent creation and upload, simple non-MySQL installation, and an RSS feed for every tracker. Currently Windows only on the client side, but Mac and Linux versions are in the works."
The only real use of this, is of course for the amateur porn blogs. Then it's a killer app!
I made a bunch of home movies with my wife on my honeymoon, now i finally have a way to share with the world how lucky and well endowed i am!
what features would it have? I'm using Shareaza atm and am very content with that. Can't see anything that would change that...
An admirable work, congratulations to them. Though doesn't this sort of encourage users to think that it's right to download and run small executables in order to get to bigger files? We should probably be teaching users to be a bit more discerning about what they click 'Open' on.
I'm nitpicking, of course
That must be why I've not been able to get to their site for a few days... All I get is a bunch of redirects until some random numeric IP refuses connection.
In other news the proliferation of really cheezy home movies posted to personal Blogs has reached epic poportions. Tonight at 11...
... and in the DRM, bind them.
on just what kind of home movies we're talking about, doesn't it? *Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge, Nod Suggestively*
Dear God, no.
Look, blogs (weblogs) suck ass. Their only use is to stroke the egos of a bunch of narcissistic losers ("A webpage about me! YAAAAAAAY! Let's tell the entire world about me, because they care. I'm such a wonderful person, let me give you 100000 reasons why! And then I can tell you about my day!").
Blogs fuck up Google. I get 100 irrelevant hits from blogs, and about 10 relevant hits. They just increase the noise to signal ratio. It's like spam, just make it stop!
And now, you want to ruin Bit Torrent by making it easy for bloggers to use it? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?!

The chances of readerships for blogs with videos (mainly ones read rarely) neing large enough for this to work is slim to none.
Just wait till Natalie Portman or Jenifer Lopez start video-P2P-blogging and you'll see the readership increase quite a bit.

Damn...
It would be cool if it didn't suck.
This is going to be used for amateur porn right? As I understand it BitTorrent needs simultaneous downloads to really function, and who has home movies that a whole lot of people really want to watch?
Oh yeah, naked people.
In Capitalist America, bank robs you!
First we had web pages about peoples cats...
Then came blogs about peoples cats...
Now we have videos about peoples cats...
And still, NOONE CARES! Seriously.
