OpenCola, the mutant offspring of Napster and Dogpile, have announced their last beta release before going “gold master candidate”. OpenCola searches through eight different search engines, indexes a couple thousand news sites and blogs, allows you to search the shared folders of other OpenCola users, and has a chat feature. They’re promising a six month free subscription to people who sign up and download the new beta before 10/30/02, which can be done from here.
Zeropaid regulars may take issue with the fact that OpenCola intends to charge for this thing, the lack of anonymity, the centralized p2p aspect, the program’s general goofyness, the absence of a Mac version or the silly name. But obviously somebody thinks there’s a market for OpenCola, since two venture firms and a publishing company are bankrolling the effort.
