Noted file sharing critic, Comcast announced Monday that they have entered into an agreement with peer-to-peer start-up, GridNetwork. Analysts predict that the alliance will likely result in a perfectly legal, Comcast-controlled P2P network. The telecom giant also has deals in place with both BitTorrent and Pando Networks. These moves show that Comcast might finally be ready to embrace P2P.

Kyte takes the social video free-for-all concept used by YouTube and Daily Motion and streamlines it slightly. Kyte users are referred to as channel owners, with all of their content acting as different shows. Kyte also allows users to interact with each other in real time, using a built-in chat client. Kyte currently hosts shows by such notables as musician Scott Ian, David Hasselhoff, and Spin magazine, as well content from average people like you and me.

And the last stop on the Free Line is ZabaSearch, a search engine that is trying to become the Google of public information. Simply pick your state, type in the name you wish to search for, and hit find. It's as simple as that. Once you find what you are looking for, you can easily post a message or send an email. ZabaSearch is a great tool for those who are just plain curious as to what that Internet has to say about them.
