Hybrid Fyreball File-Sharing Community from Halo Developers
Some of the developers who have created Halo, Halo 2 and Halo 3 joined for a new project which is a hybrid online portal "borrowing" from Facebook, YouTube and bringing its own nutty innovation, Daily Game reports.
What’s the deal with Fyreball? This is the name they have chosen for the site which will give you the chance to make your own digital salad – ingredients, you ask? Well, videos, pictures, games, gossip, news and text all this put together and making quite a "Fyreball," to be sent afterwards to anyone you want.
The technology that Fyreball employs automatically upscales code for videos, games, and other rich media, thus making a Fyreball available to view directly within that Fyreball's page, without having to click lots of links.
It is only natural that this should represent a benefit also for Fyreball's founders, (not to forget former Bungie Studios head Pete Parsons), who this way see an increase in revenue.
The technology behind Fyreball is not complicated. This is how it works – there’s a tool that you need to install into your Web browser, which allows you to create a "fyreball" of whatever Web page or online content you are engaged in watching at that time. The next step for the fyreball software is to leave it up to you to whom should you send the ‘work’.
