  BitTorrent in Fortune

Bram Cohen and BitTorrent have a 5 page interview in Fortune Magazine. Choice excerpt:

Now it has the chance to cash in on the content itself. The company plans to establish a marketplace—part iTunes, part eBay—for bandwidth-intensive content. BitTorrent will host and index any content its creators want to sell (or give away, for that matter). It will generate revenue either by charging sellers a small commission or through related advertising.

I've used the iTunes/eBay analogy myself from time to time. It should indeed be interesting to see how they build this into their client. One slashdotter shares my sentiments.

  A change to Prodigem categories

I broke a rule of teh interweb today and broke what should be permalinks on Prodigem. Specifically, I changed the URL for Category related pages and RSS feeds. The old system was dumb, with the RSS feeds being based on the category id number (eg. 1.xml was the video feed) and the webpage having an ugly question-mark as part of the URL.

So now, for the RSS feed for the video category it's:
http://www.prodigem.com/torrents/rss/category_video.xml

And for the webpage for the video category it's:
http://www.prodigem.com/torrents/category_video.html

Much much nicer. The same new format holds for all the other categories as well.
