Hi
How do the guys at allpeers hope to make any money out of this idea. So there is an API to write plug in extensions for Firefox. So what? Can you build a business around this? Internet Explorer has the lions share of the browser market, the various messengers allow people to chat and share files. Windows Live is coming out soon with all the features allpeers are supposed to offer. This whole concept is a dead duck…. How do investors hope to make any money out of this, seems like complete fantasy dreamland to me. Where is the business model.

And what’s this about Matt Gertner buying a Lamborghini? Sound like another case of give ‘em loads of cash and watch them burn it on some fairly tale idea…

I don’t understand the goal of this investment. What do they hope to get out of it?

99% of the file sharing programs are FREE as in beer. Many are also open source.

How exactly do they plan to monetize this?

If it’s with ads, then I don’t think users will adopt this. That’s because other programs such as Shareaza don’t contain ads.

I simply see no way in which they can monetize this.

AllPeers, congratulations on the funding! And Michael, thanks for your continued support of Flock. We are indeed alive and kicking and growing to a full team now. I am going to be meeting with AllPeers soon. In the meantime, we have now relocated the company to our new Mountain View offices (garage was getting a bit cramped) and we are looking to keep revving Flock every couple of months. A new build was put out a couple of weeks ago, and we have some new stuff landing in late April we hope!

“hot eastern European dev team”

That’s right, stay tuned for the “Developers of AllPeers” swimsuit calendar. But yes, I promise we’ll launch the product first. Working very hard on that…

Is anyone else reading the content on the techcrunch website seeing a misconfiguration of a rojo.com server? As I’m reading the site I get promoted to download doPublishingRequest.jsp.

Is Flock still going? Equally Windows Live Messenger 8.0 has a similar feature in called FolderShare and Office 12 will have Groove integrated but you don’t ever really mention the Microsoft Live platforms – why?

In addition Google have announced GDrive with the aim of having people store their entire data online, so will P2P the chosen method of sharing or is Goolge trying to return us back to the dark days of client/server?

Why not Napster and KaZaa then?

Or is it Napster and Kazaa?

Hmm, I guess I better wait until it comes out.

Shri.

It really is good to see that the work and contribution by AllPeers is being appreiciated and funded, wish to see more of such good services get the support. It’s obviously the high quality of service they have been providing which lead to this success I believe.

Word from alarm:clock is that Mangrove and Index put in an amount “less than 5 million”. How much less? That’s anyone’s guess. AllPeers looks like a great service. Hopefully, it won’t be ruined by the likes of the RIAA and MPAA.
