Photo, Video, Music, (General File) Sharing Without Limits
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "SOFTWARE" @ 07:00 AM
"Tubes is a revolutionary PC+web application designed to let you create instant personal sharing networks of friends, family, classmates, colleagues, or your own devices. Tubes lets you instantly share photos, music, video and documents with everyone you know and have them share their stuff with you through the same tube. With online backup and automatic syncing capabilities, Tubes is an effortless way to share, access and experience digital content across all your devices with all your communities. Tubes combines the speed of IM (instant messaging) with the convenience of mobile communication and the reach of email."
Very cool piece of technology but I think it is going to have issues. You just create a "tube" (imagine a channel) that contains one or more people and you can then drop files into that tube and everyone in that tube/channel gets those files copied to their computer. Imagine your own private network of files all being relayed and synced through this service. Software/content pirates rejoice! I'd bet someone somewhere is going to have a problem with this. I know this is not Kazaa or some other P2P service like that but honestly, that is the kind of thing that comes to mind.
