Private peer-to-peer networking is becoming more and more common, and this is something your readers would probably be interested in, as it represents a legal way for them to share content with friends located far away. Although some people enjoy using applications such as eMule and Kazaa to get free (often illegal!) content, private peer-to-peer applications allow users to share files (and entire folders on their harddrives) with close friends and family. A user’s friend(s) can therefore browse through various folders (pictures, music, home movies, etc…) and download files (and even entire folders) to his or her own computer.

Our company makes and distributes free GigaTribe software (www.gigatribe.com) and is a market leader in Europe; our user base in the US and the rest of the world is growing very quickly. Why? The data is encrypted and only the people exchanging files know what’s being exchanged. Plus, because users are downloading content from friends, there’s no risk of getting polluted or misnamed files. It’s also a clever and efficient way to transfer very large files (even entire folders) from one computer to another without burning/mailing CDs/DVDs. This software is filling a HUGE void! We are getting a consistent stream of emails from people that are grateful for what it can do (some users use it to access folders and files on their computers from other locations).

If you would like to know more about our rapidly growing company or our increasingly popular software, I’d be glad to help! You can contact me directly at john at gigatribe dot com.
