AllPeers. Cool.

There has been much ballyhoo in Web land the last week or so about AllPeers, a filesharing plugin for Firefox that lets you share anything at all with those in your buddy list.

Now I am not among those who think this will revolutionize anything and would certainly not call it a "Killer App".  For my money, Firefox itself should earn that title since it has comepletely changed the way I use the web.  But AllPeers certainly looks like a cool tool for doing things that I would like to do on occassion.  Most notably, I am tired of using IM clients to send a file to a friend of mine quickly.  AllPeers does exactly that.  And since its a BitTorrent client as well, the transfer can be done with minimal muss, fuss, and bandwidth.

    Dude. This is incredibly cool. I feel the need to download it and make some friends so I can add them to my buddy list and annoy them by sharing random files.

    Then my friend, you should

    Then my friend, you should put your email address in at their site.  You will be notified when the beta is available.

    I can’t promise that it will get you more friends though.
