What's the next Big thing for
Bram Cohen's bittorent? Well, the same as everyone else's next big thing: Search.
Wired got a sneak peak of the company's soon to be launched search service. It will follow the footsteps of Google in two ways: simplicity and a business model built around sponsored links, to be provided by Ask Jeeves (yay Ask!). And it will go way beyond your
"search string" filetype:torrent search query...From the article on Wired:
... unlike a general web search, the BitTorrent web crawler interacts with each torrent behind the scenes to determine the number of nodes downloading and uploading through it. That lets the search engine order its results by the throughput of each torrent.
It will go live on
bittorent.com, so watch that space. I hope this pulls through.
