This is  cool, I’ve wondered for a long time why Jiwire didn’t do something to integrate their service more directly at the OS level in order to give their ad network more punch.

The WeFi client replaces the Windows connection manager and finds and connects to free WiFi hotspots. The location of free hotspots is displayed on a map that also shows the location of other WeFi users. The maps are regularly updated as users discover and connect to WiFi. This is delivered without changing or modifying access points, delivering a complementary service to other WiFi sharing initiatives such as fon.
