Let’s see what you can spot on this FrostWire 4.17 screenshot (available now via subversion at your own risk)
Thanks to the LifeHacker blog for mentioning as a “Superior Alternative” on this Post this past Monday, April 28th.
First FrostWire user from the moon.

As you’ve noticed, we have moved our blog outside our official domain and out here to wordpress.com.
This is because we’ve been victims of a security exploit on an old version of wordpress.
We decided it’s better to leave the blog here where the wordpress gurus will take care of it better.
All posts and comments have been exported without any problems whatsoever.
The amount of spam we’ve been fighting with the last weeks is overwhelming, therefore we finally made the decision to upgrade to phpBB3.
The DB migration has gone far so good.
We’re currently indexing all the posts so you can have search working fast once the forums are back up.
Up to this point we don’t know if the conversion script will help us bring the theme, we may come back with the default theme for a couple of days while we prepare phpBB3 to look the way we did on phpBB2.
As soon as we’re post-able we’ll be back up.
We want to give thanks to William L. Thomson Jr from Gentoo for making FrostWire available to people running Gentoo ~arch or unstable ~x86 or ~amd64.
If you are a Gentoo Linux user you can now just do:
emerge frostwire
And as William says:
it will bring in all deps, compile, install, make desktop menu entries, launcher, etc

If you’re interested here’s the package
About Gentoo

The development project and its products are named after the Gentoo penguin. Gentoo package management is designed to be modular, portable, easy to maintain, flexible, and optimized for the user’s machine.

User luisdrk from Caracas,Venezuela has posted this picture on flickr. Pretty cool stuff. it’s actually a parody of this picture by Jesus Molina.
It’s really funny because we had our inspiration from a similar source, we looked for the words “frost wire” in flickr, and we saw frozen barbed wires, this is the one that caught our eye and then we talked to a great graphic designer who did the logo for us.
