Thanks to an Instant Message that I received this morning from my friend Luke, I was introduced to a new file sharing service called Tubes.
This new service instantly builds synchronized, secure connections, what they call a “tube” between your desktop and the desktop of your friends, family, co-workers – even your other computers.
With the Tubes software anything you drop in a tube is whisked to the desktop of anyone you choose – and vice versa.
Taken from the official Tubes website:
Tubes is a revolutionary PC+web application designed to let you create instant personal sharing networks of friends, family, classmates, colleagues, or your own devices.
Tubes lets you instantly share photos, music, video and documents with everyone you know and have them share their stuff with you through the same tube.
What’s really cool is Tubes syncs any changes in every tube ensuring you’re always up to date – even when you don’t have an internet connection.
So what do you think? Will Tubes become the wave of the future in file sharing? Could this be the end of Napster, Lime Wire and other peer-to-peer file sharing networks?
