Pipe: New Application brings up to 1 GB file transfer on Facebook
by Shihab Illias 12 Jun '13

12 Jun '13

Dear friends Facebook launched, the new app “Pipe” this week which allows Facebook users to share files up to 1 GB in size through a simple drag and drop interface. Pipe seems to blend the best of two worlds that dominate Internet traffic: bit torrents and social networking. In an infographic published in March, Intel decoded “what happens in an Internet minute” in which it revealed that in a minute, the Internet transferred close to 639,800 GB of IP data across the globe. And as for data security, files transferred via Pipe never pass through Facebook servers, instead travelling directly between the connected users with the help of unspecified Adobe technology. The peer-to-peer file-sharing application will work with any type of file and will deliver in real-time if the friend is online. If the friend is offline, it will place the files securely in a locker and deliver it when the recipient logs in. Users need to register for the App at www.facebook.com/pipe Easy steps to intall Pipe app on Facebook. http://www.zeropaid.com/news/104088/pipe-facebook-app-sharing-files-friends/ Read more on Source: http://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/technology/internet/new-app-brings-up-to-1… http://www.zeropaid.com/news/104088/pipe-facebook-app-sharing-files-friends/ With Regards Shihab.I.
