"Valve Hires BitTorrent Creator 51 Comments

Here's a big surprise: Valve hired Bram Cohen, the creator BitTorrent way back in October.
But unknown to Mr. Cohen, BitTorrent was serving as a job application. Out of the blue, he heard from Gabe Newell, the managing director of Valve Software, based in nearby Bellevue, Wash. Valve is developing what gaming experts anticipate will be a blockbuster video game, Half-Life 2, but it is also creating an online distribution network that it calls Steam. Because of Mr. Cohen's expertise in just that area, Valve offered him a job. He moved to Seattle and started work in October.
"When we looked around to see who was doing the most interesting work in this space, Bram's progress on BitTorrent really stood out," Mr. Newell said. "The distributed publishing model embedded in BitTorrent is exactly the kind of thing media companies need to build on for their own systems."

One would assume that he's already done work on Steam. If you aren't familiar with BitTorrent, it's an interesting and occasionally very useful shared file distribution system."

Hehe, I never said the basic idea of it is not good :D
