Harvard Crimson writer Zachary Seward says that
Wirehog—a file-sharing program from the creators of thefacebook—garnered more
than a thousand downloads almost immediately upon release.
A cursory check of
Feedster finds mixed
reviews about Wirehog.
Peer to Peer meets Social Networking—a natural pairing. File swapping with friends and cohorts—hm, I want to do that
on Instant Messenger.
I use IM more than email, phone, or face-to-face communication these days—Adium on my Mac is getting better and
better. So, when will I be able to just click on a friend or cohort's name in my buddy list and access a pull-down menu
that offers me, based on my cohort's permission: a select list of their IM chat-ters; shared files; calendars; reading
lists; links; photos; blogs; and last but not least a 'presence panel' with info on how to best reach them for f2f or
v2v interactions?
