BitTorrent Live: Η BitTorrent Inc. είναι γνωστή για τις εφαρμογές *torrent, αλλά μετά την εξαγορά της από την TRON, φαίνεται να αναπτύσσει νέες ιδέες. Σήμερα η company announced “BitTorrent Live”, a social network platform for streaming.
The new platform will be available as beta for tests in the next quarter and will not use BitTorrent technology to stream videos. At least not from the beginning.
Many of you know BitTorrent Inc. from uTorrent and BitTorrent applications, which are already used by 100 millions of users each month.
The company has tried to deliver more applications and services from time to time, but its efforts have not been so successful.

The brand name “BitTorrent Live” is not new. A similar service was released to the public in 2013, but soon stopped working. However, the new service BitTorrent Live promises to be something completely different.
The new platform will act as a social network that users can use to stream live content to and from mobile devices, wherever there is access on the Internet.
"Imagine talking to your favorite athlete, being at a music festival or meeting new friends to share your passions - all by simply activating the BitTorrent Live app," says Justin Sun, CEO of BitTorrent.
"Using our decentralized technology, we aim to create a borderless internet but also a pioneering new content experience," says Sun.
Streaming apps are nothing new. A lot platforms social media have already incorporated some functionality for streaming. Of course, according to its creators, BitTorrent Live will be different, with an emphasis on protecting privacy but also providing revenue to content creators.
"In the coming months, BitTorrent Live will also incorporate blockchain technology that will allow users privacy, while allowing it to be used as a new payment option," says BitTorrent Inc.
The company has open the door for those who want to test the upcoming beta, but for now there is nothing to test. According to the company it will take a few weeks before the first invitations are released.
