Omemo: new filesharing service launches

Saturday, December 22, 2007 11:34 EST -05:00   News  


This week saw the launch of Omemo, a brand new filesharing service from filesharing veteran Pablo Soto, the guy who gave the world Blubster and Piolet. Omemo is a P2P filesharing with a difference. It has been set up to create what is allegedly the “world’s largest multimedia library: The Omemo peer-to-peer virtual hard-drive”.

Omemo is open source and works by users allocating a small percentage of their hard drives for the Omemo network. As the number of users increases, so does the size of the virtual hard drive, which Omemo users can then use for filesharing.

Omemo is, allegedly, completely anonymous and users browse the virtual network when sharing their files. Omemo is a great idea and is currently in Beta. It’s available for free download from the official website. Omemo probably won’t change the world, but it’s a welcome addition to the filesharing world.

The only thing is that Omemo is so new that there is very little information available about exactly how it works or how to use the service. Furthermore, with so few users, there likely won’t be a whole lot of stuff being shared. We’re going to download Omemo and give it a test run — expect a full report in the next few days.
