Description
Lockr lets people share their content with their friends without
having to register or maintain copies of their social networks
on third-party sites. Lockr decouples social networking
information from content sharing.
Lockr provides a
universally accessible address book for maintaining a single
copy of a user's social network. Lockr also provides an
access control scheme that makes sharing personal content
easy.
Sharing personal content online is surprisingly
hard despite the recent emergence of a huge number of content
sharing systems and sites. These systems suffer from several
drawbacks: they each have a different way of providing access
control which cannot be used in other systems; moving to a new
system is a lengthy process and requires registration and
invitation of all the friends to the new system; and the rules
for access control are complicated and become more so as our
networks of online friends grow.
Lockr makes sharing
personal content easy. Lockr provides a universally accessible
address book for maintaining a single copy of a user's
social network, as well as an access control scheme that makes
sharing personal data easy. Lockr separates social networks from
content delivery.
Currently, Lockr allows people to
control how their share their data over BitTorrent and Flickr
only. We are planning to support more content sharing systems
soon. Please, drop us a note. if you would like to
help.
Currently Lockr has three modules:
*
Lockr Center: is a Facebook app. used for exchanging passes with
friends
* Lockr for Flickr: is a Mozilla Firefox
extension that enables Lockr for Flickr
* Lockr for
BitTorrent: is a modified Azureus client that enables Lockr for
BitTorrent content (available for Windows and Linux)
