I've had this thought rolling around in my mind for awhile, not sure if anyone's tried it out, of a twitter-like message platform on the torrent protocol. Not that it would necessarily have to have such restrictive content-lengths, although fitting into a packet size might be a good plan... Wouldn't it be cool if a message was only alive as long as it was seeded? And PK-encrypted ad-hoc distribution groups would be a cinch. Gah, I gotta buck up and get myself acquainted with the protocol and figure out if this is just the inner dumbass talking :-)

Don't really get it, couldn't you just share a text file?

  Yeah, I was thinking more about the supporting infrastructure for subscriptions and perhaps tweaks if necessary so that a seed-file subscription via another protocol only has to occur initially... That said, I think it's one of those context-free ideas which upon in-depth analysis fall apart...but I'm still interested to explore the idea a bit to see if there are any legs.
