BitTorrent search engine
p2pnet.net News :- An advertising-supported search engine cataloguing and indexing movies, music tracks, software programs and other files for download over BitTorrent?
It’s a little something Bram Cohen and, “a small cadre of developers and entrepreneurs are in the final stage of launching,” says Wired News, going on:
“The free search tool will be the first large-scale commercial offering from BitTorrent, a five-person company headed by Cohen that so far has drawn most of its revenue from T-shirt sales and PayPal donations.
“The ranked search results will be accompanied by sponsored links provided through a partnership with Oakland, California, company Ask Jeeves, says Ashwin Navin, BitTorrent’s chief operating officer. BitTorrent will make money from each clickthrough.”
The BT search engine is expected to go live within two weeks, Navin is quoted as saying.
It’ll live on the BitTorrent web site.
