What is Blog Torrent?
Blog Torrent is software that makes it much easier to share and download files using the bittorrent protocol. Blog Torrent is easy to install on your website: we don't require MySQL so installation is as easy as uploading a folder to your web host, and all administration happens in the web interface. Blog Torrent is easy for users: even if they don't know what bittorrent is, they get an installer that downloads the file they want. But most of all, Blog Torrent makes publishing with bittorrent painless. Just click "upload", pick a file, and you're done.
Why does Blog Torrent matter?
Making it easy to blog large video files means that people can share their home movies the same way they share their photos or writings. It lets people create vast networks of truly peer-to-peer video content-- video that was made by individuals and shared with individuals, no big bandwidth budget required.

Mailing ListsUpcoming Feature Priorities
Our goals are simplicity and integration. These are the highest priority features that we want to add:1. Polish and refine interfaces, dialogs, and user flow. Ease of use is our raison d'�tre.
2. Multiple downloads in the same window-- the client interface needs to be simpler and prettier.
3. Initiate seeding from the client side. A simple feature, but something that makes sense for many serious bloggers, who typically blog from clients.
4. CMS integration. Integration with Wordpress, Moveable Type, Drupal/Civicspace are big priorities.
5. A beautiful blogtorrent.com website, because we want to get this out to everyone.

Something different
The way information technology has expanded, it's easy to enroll in distance
learning programs. Certifications like, N10-003
CompTIA Network, cover many aspects of networking. With everything
going virtual, security issues are on the rise. To counter such
problems, tests come in the form of SY0-101
and VCP-310
that serve the purpose.
What Else Are We Cookin'?
Participatory Culture Foundation - Blog Torrent is forming the foundation for a new video publishing tool called Broadcast Machine. Combined with a desktop application to download and play video, we're working to build a new platform for independent internet television.
