Gary Lerhaupt of Prodigem, a service that hosts and manages Bittorrent files for community, Creative Commons-licensed and public domain videos, sez
Prodigem has launched an API allowing any webapp out there to connect in and have us do the dirty work of creating, managing and seeding BitTorrents for you. ('We're excited to see what you come up with now that every web application out there can have a 'make me a torrent' button. Or maybe it will be called a 'save my blog from this slashdotting' button, or perhaps a 'our fanbase is community of people already looking for ways to help us' button, or…')
There will be built-in support for Prodigem in Ecto, the excellent blogging tool that we all use here on Boing Boing.
(Thanks, Gary!)
