Load Tubes 1 and 2….FIRE!!!!!   May 23rd, 2007

I was mowing my yard yesterday and trying to catch up on my podcasts. One of my favorites is Diggnation, which is hosted by Kevin Rose the founder of Digg and his Friend Alex Albrecht. This is a great podcast if you want to keep up with current culture as welll as current technology from about a 10,000 ft view. Anyway at the end of the show they mentioned Tubes. Tube is a product that acts like an IM client but also allows you to create custom P2P networks for your IM Friends. What is even cooler is that fact that you have lots of granular access control over the files once they end up in your online-share. Products like Hamachi were able to do this by creating a PC to PC VPN then allowing file sharing between the PC’s but that was cludgy. This is the whole package in one client. So far its a Win32 only app but they are working on a OS X version and I would guess a linux version also. With 2 Gig of free storage this could be a killer app for small companies and distributed work forces.  Anyway not going to go on an on about it but check out Tubes this could be the next big thing.
