Wow!
bitter and twisted or what... did you miss anyone to take a pop at?

The pictures on the website just show an IM & personal sharing tool to me. It doesn't seem to interoperate with anything else. It does seem to use its own P2P system.
The "bit torrent" spin of the article writer seems to have no validity - the tool is not open source or if it is it doesn't (so far) give credit as appropriate on the website.
The idea seems to be to stick a proprietory IM tool onto Firefox with some rudimentary P2P and the promise to advertise goods and services to you later (& the FAQ seems to say it will). Seems like nothing AIM, MSN, Y! don't already do with the added inconvenience of having the thing stuck to the edge of your browser window. Yuk!

YAWN - its an interesting bit of publicity fluff to get an article written about a product that doesn't exist and that is nothing groundbreaking IMHO.
