"Trusted" news

2002-12-11 01:01:21+01 by Shawn 0 comments

Via /., Some folks at the University of Bremen have come up with the Matrix Public Network - a peer-to-peer [audio] file-sharing network for reporting and listening to news, with a built-in, user-defined trust factor for the news you retrieve. They're billing it as the future of news reporting and consuming.

Intersting stuff. I may have to play around with this.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
