Napster is a neat way to be a client and a server on the web, and is good
for exchanging files. Imagine the power if XML were used within a Napster
style environment to describe data and functions that could be shared. This
is something that Infraseach hinted at (using Gnutella for distributed
searching) before they went into 'stealth mode' after funding. It will be
interesting to see what they come up with.
