BitTorrent's Project Maelstrom - The P2P Web Browser
BitTorrent has announced an invite only project to build the distributed web. What does that really mean? The details aren't out yet, but the overall plan seems to be targeted at building a web browser that works just the way BitTorrent does. That is, the web pages will be served not from the servers, but from your peers with small pieces of the files stored on their computers. Which means there won't be any spying agencies to keep check on your web activity.
Through their official blog announcement, the Project Maelstrom is looking for people to help them with testing their browser, currently in alpha phase of development. There's no preview of the browser available for us to actually see how the browser works. We urge all the supporters of net neutrality to take a step ahead and help Project Maelstrom become successful.
TechCrunch asked several questions to the BitTorrent team about making the project successful commercially. It's evident that BitTorrent isn't clear about the way they'll make money through their browser. It's "too early to tell", said BitTorrent's spokesperson when asked about monetizing the browser via online advertisements a la Firefox.
The distributed web will not affect the way websites are created. The HTML will remain the same. Only the way HTML is served to the users will be different. Instead of serving the pages from a server or a cluster of server, these pages will be served from individual computers which will keep the files on their local storage - just the way P2P file sharing works.
