The Circle P2P Transfer, IM and News
by Kevin Dangoor
The Circle is a promising-sounding peer-to-peer decentralized content application. I haven’t been able to try it yet, so I’m not sure how far along it is. But, with file transfer, instant messaging and news, it sounds quite interesting. Possibly even the first implementation of a blognet that has been created.
Well, I was and possibly am in the making of a distro. And was and am going to use the circle for my distro for news and file transfer, etc..
And the number one reason why ? Because nobody uses it. So what better than to have a p2p app all to yourself. And on top of that, if I make a distro I have got support for chat, files, news all in one small package.
I’ve gotta say that your comment seems so crazy that I was thinking for a moment that it might be comment spam. “What better than to have a p2p app all to yourself” makes no sense whatsoever. P2P only has value through “network effects”, when there are many people using it…
