isoHunt Launches 'Social' BitTorrent Site

hexagon.jpgFor years most torrent sites have shared a similar layout where torrents are listed in several fixed categories designated by the site’s owners. Hexagon.cc opts to do things differently.

“The main difference that sets Hexagon.cc apart from other social file sharing and BitTorrent sites, is everything is centered around groups. Be it file sharing networks or flash video sites, a key piece we found missing is social context,” isoHunt’s founder Gary Fung said.

With Hexagon Fung hopes to bridge this gap by allowing people to start groups where they can share content within a certain niche. These groups help to organize content and allow people to share with others who are interested in the same material, privately or in public.

In addition Hexagon is also aimed at content producers and independent artists who want to promote their content using BitTorrent. For this group Hexagon offers monetization opportunities such as direct “fan” contributions and sharing of advertising revenue.

“We have contacts with game publishers and independent musicians and film makers, who are very interested in creating their own groups where they can directly market their music, videos or games and interact with their fans, and generate sales directly or indirectly,” Fung said.

Hexagon is certainly not your average torrent site and we must admit that it took us a while to fully grasp the new sharing interface. That aside, it is great to see that some people are still innovating and trying to improve the BitTorrent sharing experience.

The isoHunt team is offering 500 invites for TorrentFreak readers who want to give Hexagon a spin, so you can decide for yourself.

Can you tell me why ? Is it against the forum rules ?

:oops:

No no, I'm sorry! :P

I was talking about the topic, the concept of 'grouping', not about your invite request. If I had one I'd give it to you, but I do not :(
