Imagine that your emailing, blogging, media sharing, planning, project managing, discussing, socializing, and all communications actions could compressed and optimally organized together in one tool. That tool, my friends, is the upcoming Google Wave [See Video Below].
With the announcement of Google Wave at this year’s 2009 Google I/O, we are as excited as ever for the amazing work that Google repeatedly displays. From one point of view, it’s hard to even figure out where to begin talking about Google Wave, seeing that it literally revolutionizes the way we communicate online by changing our old digital snail mail methods to something that one would expect if Email was reinvented in the 21st century – oh wait… Google Wave DID REINVENT the Email system. So exactly how is Google Wave so revolutionary? Will for starters, rather than having a traditional email system that basically emulates snail mail except through the Internet, all communications in Google Wave exists on a so called “Wave.” This Wave is basically one (1) and only one instance of data that lives either on the Google Wave server (similar to how your Gmail mails are also hosted on Google’s servers) but can be accessed and edited by different participants of a that Wave. This way, people can communicate in real time and any edits, comments, messages, remarks, inserts, uploads, links, etc that a participant of a Wave makes, everyone else of that Wave with eligibility will also see, instantaneously. Sounds confusing? You should be, seeing that, once again, Google Wave is changing everything about the way we communicate.
Just speaking of the surface of this new platform, there are many new features and functions of Google Wave. For instance, rather than your traditional email with a Reply or Forward mode to carry on a message or conversations, Google Wave offers messaging with a different perspective. Anyone of a single Wave can edit the message and text anywhere he or she desires, whether it’s at the end of a Wave message, like in the case of a Email reply, or it’s directly in the middle of a Wave. The good news is that all this commenting and editing is stored in one Google Wave to prevent syncing problems with multiple instances of Waves. Read the rest of this entry »
There are plenty of great BitTorrent directory sites and search engines. Among theme are the popular Mininova, Demonoid, Pirate Bay, TorrentSpy (once great but now sucks because it doesn’t allow U.S. based searches anymore), and plenty of other websites. However, non matches ScrapeTorrent, a torrent search engine that searches on all the directories of the most popular BitTorrent websites. Quote from ScrapeTorrent.com:
ScrapeTorrent combines torrent search results from the top bittorrent index sites into a single page of results. You can sort search results by name, date, seed count, category, and file size.
ScrapeTorrent inherently removes the need to move from one torrent site to another while searching for a specific file. It is a great BitTorrent search optimizer. In addition, it allows for personal preferences, filters and organization of results.
These are the current Torrent sites covered by ScrapeTorrent: TorrentSpy, IsoHunt, PirateBay, TorrentReactor, SeedPeer, MiniNova, Demonoid, TorrentPortal, BTJunkie, and FullDls. It is most likely that the number of included sites will increase in the future.

AllPeers is an excellent free Mozilla Firefox extension tool for file sharing and chatting. It utilizes the fast BitTorrent network to facilitate its quick file sharing. However, unlike tradition torrent engines, All Peers DOES NOT require any ports to be opened to adjust the transferring speed. In addition, it requires no other downloads except for the Firefox add-on web application. Thus, AllPeers can also be incorporated as a portable file transferring application if installed on Firefox Portable. These are significant advantages over torrent engines, email file sharing, or any other methods. -Cheng Chen
Forget email, BitTorrent, and instant messaging applications; you won’t find a better program than this. It works within the Firefox browser (an Internet Explorer version is not yet available) and thus requires no other external software. Folders can be set up to indicate specific files and to specify who has access to these files. Peers/sharers can also be notified when the files are ready. In addition to data, web pages can also be shared along with the normal media files. You will be able to view any media files you receive from other people inside Firefox. It is simply the easiest and best way of sharing files. -Jiayue Liu [Feed Elite New Employee (First Article)] Link: allpeers.com [AllPeers] Read the rest of this entry »
