According to Ecoustics.com a stormy release was announced by MP2P Technologies. The subject of our attention is Omemo http://www.omemo.com, which seems to promise an innovative breakthrough in the world of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing.
As advertised, a great change now with the beta launch of Omemo, would be that users will no longer have to depend on their somehow limited store place on their local driver – rather, they will have at their disposal a virtual hard drive on which to save their files.
As noticed by researchers from Microsoft in association with the Polytechnic University in New York, this P2P file sharing system, Omemo like, would come in very handy to video publishing services such as YouTube and MSN Video which could this way save up to 95% of their bandwidth.
What Omemo actually does is allowing its users to share resources by building an open source based P2P network that joins together available free space from hard drives freely shared by users.
This means that users can add, share, and organize their own content keeping their anonymity and becoming this way a real community which solely will run this extremely vast, live multimedia library, thereby no single, centralized authority being in charge with the network, rather every feature being 100% community policed as to promote and guarantee both privacy and the principles of online democracy.
Basically, Omemo represents a multimedia version of the mighty Wikipedia with the difference of being created based on this P2P network. According to Pablo Soto, CEO of MP2P Technologies, their goal right from the beginning was to come up with something new that would push P2P file sharing to the next level, to some extent, in accordance with the wikiocracy concept brought about by the social media revolution.
What Omemo really shares are not files but resources. As Pablo Soto tells us, hosting limitless copies of the entire Wikipedia website would be no challenge to the vastness of the Omemo network and this due to the fact that users no longer share actual hard drives but merely a very small percentage of their available free space.
