Opera Unite
What is Opera Unite?
Opera Unite is a unique technology that turns any computer or device running Opera into a Web server. In other words, your computer (running Opera Unite) is truly part of the fabric of the Web, rather than just interacting with it, and it’s something anyone can use. With Opera Unite, everyday non-technical users can serve and share content and services directly from their own computers in the form of intuitive applications. Opera Unite allows you to easily share your data: photos, music, notes and other files. You can even run chat rooms and host entire Web sites with Opera Unite. It puts the power of a Web server in your browser, giving you greater privacy and flexibility than other online services.
This looks promising….sharing media, files, and chat with family and friends, all in one place without the need of creating different accounts (e.g. Flickr, YouTube, Facebook, IM, Web hosting).
The power of hosting all your info in a single place, under your control, not depending on “the cloud”. Being able to restrict access just to people you know. Privacy.
Now that its becoming more and more common to have at home a media server, this would be a great way to share personal stuff with your family. And best of all, you can access it from anywhere, just need internet access.
Its open for Developers to create new “Unite Services”, so features could be endless….
This is a really good idea, now we just have to wait and see if people will adopt it.
