Is AllPeers FireFox's P2P "Killer App"?

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday January 4, 2006 @03:02AM from the simple-is-key dept.

Vivek Jishtu writes "Tech Crunch predicts that the AllPeers Firefox extension will massively increase the attractiveness of that already popular browser, drawing more millions away from embattled Internet Explorer. AllPeers is a simple, persistent buddy list in the browser. Initially, interaction with those buddies will be limited to discovering and sharing files."

Some great PR work!?

Reminds me of Paul Graham's piece from early last year The Submarine.

I saw a bittorrent-like system a while back that was for private sharing, with a really nice GUI and everything. I even downloaded it, but my machine crashed before I could install it, and now I can't remember what it was called. I know this post is useless, but maybe it'll get someone's attention... and they'll remember ... hope...
