Revolutionary Napster-Like Application Unveiled; Features File Sharing
Integrated with AOL Instant Messaging
ALBANY, N.Y., Aug 8, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- In the midst of
uncertainty about the future of Napster and its millions of devotees, a new
Napster-like Internet application has been developed in Troy, N.Y., and unveiled
at the website, Aimster.com. The application, called Aimster, is being hailed by
its developers as "the first Napster-like file sharing integrated with AOL
Instant Messaging."
Johnny Deep, author of several Internet-related books and spokesperson for the
developers, said, "Aimster reflects a significant step toward implementing
universal file-sharing because for the first time users can search and share
files within circles of online friends."
Aimster's integration with AOL Instant Messaging allows users to search and
share files exclusively with their AOL Instant Messaging "buddies," and thereby
enjoy greater privacy and security protections. Unlike Napster, Aimster gives
users significantly more control over who can access their shared files and
computers, and also lets users share not only music but any personal content.
"There is huge market potential for tools that allow people and businesses to
easily setup private peer-to-peer networks," said Jeff Nixon of Interactive
Capital Partners. "It's the next natural evolution in personal communications
after email and instant messaging and it helps further unlock the most powerful
part of the network, the knowledge of each person that makes up the network."
"Aimster brings together two of the most powerful Internet applications out
there today," said Mr. Deep. "The combination of file-sharing and instant
messaging allows people to create their own instant private networks."
"This application is the future of the Internet. Its users will find it to be
fun, easy -- and addictive," he said.
Aimster is based on a patent-pending intelligent switching technology developed
by a newly formed Troy, N.Y. communications company. Aimster is available for
Windows 95/98/NT/2000 and can be freely downloaded from aimster.com.
