Many thanks to everyone who attended the FileSociety Launch experience last night here in Tribeca.  It was a great mix of theory and real world technology that ignited smart conversation in the audience of press, creative, technology, and media professionals.  Special thanks to Clay Shirky who's talk was enlightening and timely. Mr. Shirky's presentation was spot on with the collaboartive theme of FileSociety and he was very engaging in his explanation of how people use new internet tools differently to take group action. For the main event of the evening, FileSociety raced FTP in a 100 MB file transfer challenge.  It was not pretty as the FileSociety transfer was finished in under 20 seconds while FTP still showed more than 4 minutes left to go...in a world that is rapidly becoming file based...it's time to move forward.

Enjoy the photos and video as they emerge in to this blog post.
