[Slashdot] konspire2b is a new content distribution system that essentially turns the standard p2p model upside down. This simple change gives the network several nice properties, including log-bounded distribution times (logarithmic in the number of nodes that receive a file) and a refreshingly different (and somewhat blog-like) user-interaction model.

It’s a pretty interesting read actually. I’ve always found that discussions about optimization of routing/distribution of data over a large distribution of nodes to be pretty facinating (boy, sometimes I need a life). Imagine this: couple p2p with PDA’s and other nodes that move around and it gets really interesting.
