Mark Cuban predicted the death of BitTorrent and and the creator, Bram Cohen, responded yesterday on his LiveJournal blog. LiveJournal?!?!?! Oh come on, using a service full of 13 year old girls having their hearts broken by boys that didn’t know they had crushes on them doesn’t exactly lend the the credibility to BitTorrent.

BitTorrent is an awesome protocol and works really well. It has made moving large files like video podcasts around the internet much less painful.

What I don’t understand is why its so hard for Bram to use his own domain and install some blogging software so his posts come from a more credible source than LiveJournal.
