Mixed feelings
Sep. 30th, 2007 11:06 pmMy Spybot (after I updated it with the most recent upgrade and data) virtually deleted and killed by Bearshare this weekend. I was sad because the little bear face was off my desktop and I knew that without re-installing, I would not be able to find unusual music that hits me throughout the day, or without hearing the obscure stuff, I would be stuck in an unredemptive, unforgiving, and relentless repetition of stuff I didn't want to hear or wasn't able to get out of my head. So, I had to install what I think is the more recent version, which is supposed to SUCK!
So, aside from the work-related issues, lingering in my head was the thought of not being able to find music that I needed quickly. Bearshare had been wonderful. Kazaa had been wonderful. Napster had been FANTASTIC. But eventually all these software packages and groups had been either shut down or lessened in virtue and expanse. All but Bearshare, and I'm not sure why. Maybe cuz it's not known.
Given the current readership of my blog and other sites, I can't imagine that Bearshare's interest by the general populace would be that greatly increased. But still I have a version and simply by this post I am advertising to a group that might well be interested in owning a copy (by purchase) and therewith extrapolate any monies that I would have thrown toward the company. I should support the last-seeming peer-to-peer sharing conduit on the web, right?
We'll see.
