All Peersで大騒ぎ 火曜日, 8月 15 2006 

以前から何度もTechCrunchが取り上げているAll Peersがいよいよβに!?
知らない人のために書いておくとFireFoxでP2Pを実現するExtensionだ。
All Peers

UK/Prague-based AllPeers is a Firefox extension that will allow for group P2P file sharing using the browser. A persistent buddy list in a sidebar is created. Files can be shared with those buddies by dragging a file, folder or URL into their name. It’s just as easy to share the file with multiple people. The core technology is based on bittorent.
Finally (Almost): AllPeers – TechCrunch

要するに、bittorentの技術を使って特定の相手とファイルを交換できるというもの。File Sharing Softのように不特定多数を相手にするわけではないので直県法慈雨も問題ない。IMのファイル送/受信が視覚化されたような感じかな?記事にScreen Shotが載っているから見ればイメージは掴めるだろう。

ところで、

The company won’t say when they are launching, but they’ve been bleeding in beta users for a few weeks and the date is clearly not that far away. They’ve also said they’ll allow me to give 50 immediate access accounts away immediately – these are first come, first serve in the comments. Just give me the email address you want to use, in the comment.

なんて書いてあるものだから短時間のうちにコメントが殺到、自分も慌てて駆けつけたところ丁度49番目までコメントがついていて、速攻でE-Mailを書き込んだもののふたを開けてみれば56番目….orz くそう、もう少しだけ早く記事を読んでいれば…。こういうことがあるから日本版よりも本家をチェックしておかなければ。
コメントの中にはMichael Arringtonのものや、All Peersの共同設立者であるMatthew Gertnerのものも含まれているものの、微妙な位置だ….。

いずれにせよ、近い将来、いよいよこいつを使える日が来る!

これとは別に、以前に申し込んでいたインビテーションきた!!!

      All “signs” point to Firefox – the fox tales via digg

      The Oregon State Linux Users Group is at it again! To celebrate 50 million downloads, they took back the sidewalk with an enormous painting on their campus quad. At 100 million, they took back the sky with a huge Firefox weather balloon. How do you beat that?

      Microsoft Secures Vista With LSD – eWeek.com via digg
      In 2003, the group of four Polish security researchers discovered the vulnerability that would later be used by others to unleash the Blaster worm, but because of distrust over Microsoft’s willingness to address software flaws at the time, members had to be coaxed into sharing their findings.

      The group, known as LSD, is now on Microsoft’s payroll working on what is being hailed as the “largest ever penetration test” of an operating system coming out of Redmond, Wash.

      ….な訳はない。ポーランドのLSDというハッカー・グループがMicrosoftの製品開発(特にセキュリティ)を支援しているというお話。

      Netvibes, the popular ajax startpage, just announced a massive funding round of $15 million – what’s more, they now claim to have 5 million users.

    • John Gotts とかいう起業家が wiki.comドメインを3百万ドルで買った話。
      MindTouch today announced it has partnered with Entrepreneur John Gotts to launch Wiki.com, the premier online destination for consumers to learn about, create and share wiki sites. MindTouch is the only vendor on the market to provide a full spectrum of wiki solutions including hosted, appliance-based and open source wikis.
      MindTouch Powers Wiki.com

      It worked for him with AdWare.com, which redirects to PCSafe.com, where Gotts sells adware removal software he claims has been wildly successful. There’s very little information available about PCSafe except for one damning report that Gotts insists is inaccurate.
      Wiki.com partners with MindTouch, says $3 mill domain is a deal

      本人ご出演?

      With nearly ten million happy users of PCSafe it always amazes me that people continue to write about our software as being bad, and here is your chance to let them burn us again,
      That said, if you dig deeper you will find that the real reason behind this bogus report was that I owned adaware.com and that upset them greatly.
      Bummed at bad reporting, John Gotts
