Lockr for BitTorrent
Version 0.1
Overview

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 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. [+]

With Lockr, you maintain one copy of your social network on Facebook (LockrCenter) and share content on any 3rd party website. For now, Lockr is supported by BitTorrent (Lockr for Vuze) and by Flickr (Lockr for Flickr).
