| Globe & Mail's series, the Download Decade | Posted by IH on May. 11
Globe and Mail, a high profile Canadian business newspaper, has launched the
Download Decade series
(digg this, they deserve it!). 6 months in the making and for one which they revamped their whole site programming in order to accommodate the new multimedia in the series, I especially applaud the fact that the Globe and Mail have now
joined the CBC
in releasing multimedia content over BitTorrent. Adoption of BitTorrent at big publications like G&M in a series celebrating the 10th year anniversary of Napster is a symbolic milestone in itself. What can we look forward to in the next decade to come? I think it's going to be exciting.
Currently only
Part 1
of 5 in the series is out at launch of the Download Decade, featuring a
long look back at Napster and the beginning of P2P.
I have been interviewed, expect yours truly to come up in the coming parts. There's so much insights summed up in the series involving the enormously complicated legal and political issues surrounding copyright, culture and creativity, with well compiled audio/video interviews and interactive content. I highly recommend you to
follow this series.
And of course, what's a news worth without torrents? Torrent of Part 1 as well as the upcoming parts in the series should be
indexed here.

| Tweeting, Facebooking and other news | Posted by IH on May. 2
I'm finding less time to write long writeups, so I'm going to start
"microblogging" on Twitter
instead since a lot of our news is commentary on external links relevant to isoHunt and BitTorrent anyways. This way I can post short comments on interesting news much quicker, and you can tweet your heart out on individual links.
Announcements and news not found anywhere else will still be posted as longer posts here on isoHunt frontpage, particular to developments on isoHunt and BitTorrent/P2P generally.
Also, since we find the new Facebook Pages to be better layout and public, we are moving our old Facebook group to our
new Facebook page.
Check it out and be a fan!
And here's some local (to us) news on me demonstrating my Jedi mind tricks:
This is not the CD you are looking for.

| Word from our special partners and sponsors | Posted by IH on May. 2
A few announcements from our partners that a fairly significant in the BitTorrent scene.
First off, quoting ANR below:
| Quote: |
|
Awesome New Republic
(ANR) and
Honor Roll Music
are proud to announce the free release of ANR's Rational Geographic Volume 1 as a direct 25mb .zip
download
via their homepage and from all major torrent sites (
torrents listing
). ANR is targeting the torrent community with a month-long sponsorship of Isohunt, via a prominently featured banner advertisement that links directly to both the .zip file and torrent. In a music industry that is quickly changing, Honor Roll Music recognizes that torrent search engines such as Isohunt should not be vilified, but rather worked with cooperatively in order to reach millions of music fans eager to discover and download new music. Awesome New Republic and Honor Roll are confident that the genuine musicianship and modern pop sensibility displayed on Rational Geographic Volume 1 will speak for itself, and in turn captivate the attention of anyone who listens. |
This marks an important milestone, that there is indeed common ground between isoHunt (and sharing sites like it) and musicians, filmmakers, game makers, etc. With
TPB losing their trial,
it's important to see this fact, that P2P is not about piracy or stealing, but that it is a better Radio that can be used for the benefit of creative people. I know many of you loath "bad" or distasteful ads (believe me, I try to get rid of them but ads are what keeps this site going), but this is one ad shouldn't miss 
Secondly, another awesome use of our
JSON api
besides the awesome
iPhone web app:
LittleShoot mashes social media sharing and searching
for torrents or flash videos alike. Torrents search results in LittleShoot is powered by isoHunt, and props to them for making torrenting easier for new and old users alike!
