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?

You bounce around picking up gems and talking to the denizens of 'Level Upland'. Eventually you feel tired and head back to ...
