[p2p-hackers] P2P Social Networking Protocols

[Tim Julien]

LimeWire has 'friend' features that is basically gnutella + xmpp.  It
allows you to see a friend's files and download them.  

We also built an impl based on facebook chat that enabled the same use
case, but that feature has been disabled.
