CloudFire: P2P sharing for the regular folk
CloudFire, a soon-to-be-released offering from the maker of p2p sharing application BoxCloud, is looking to revolutionize the way you share media. Before CloudFire, if you wanted to share a file with a friend or family member, or access that file on the go, you would have to upload the file to a media sharing site. CloudFire skips the laborious uploading process and allows you to share your media files directly from your desktop or media application (such as iTunes or iPhoto).
This kind of media sharing can be classified as peer-to-web, because the recipient of a file can view them anywhere a browser and internet connection is available, even on a mobile phone.
Details are scarce for now, because the service has yet to launch. The website has some screenshots and snippets of information; as for the prestige, we'll just have to wait.
Hopefully our invites are coming soon so we can provide a more in-depth look at CloudFire. Or do you think we just drop the name Download Squad and get all the invites, like some celebrity at an A-list nightclub?

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

so... they invented an FTP server? :P
it's funny how a lot of new "social" applications or services are just pretty names on old technology...

Sure drop the name and give us the goods, me thinks it will be much like crossloop. Put an ease of use sticker on an old product. Just like what the iPhone did for handheld computers.

How many people really know how to use ftp or the difference between ftp and sftp? We are not about reinventing old stuff but simplifying ways of getting things done. In this case sharing media - nothing more, nothing less.
We believe media sharing is more about consuming media than downloading or exchanging files and we do this by making user desktops act more like a web server than an ftp server.
