Opera Unite: a Web server on the Web browser

There has been quite a history of browser wars. Till sometime back each browser claimed to change the way you browse the web and claimed their superiority for the same. Now they claim that they will change the way you are a part of the web. Opera recently announced their plans for Opera 10 , their upcoming version , and they have introduced a new technology which they call Opera Unite.

Opera Unite is a web server on the web browser. It allows you to take control of what you share online. 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. Opera Unite services can be accessed from any modern browser, including mobile browsers. This video showcases their vision.



As it is a fully fledged web server integrated to your browser ,you can do all kinds of things like hosting websites, host chat rooms, share files, etc. 
from your very own computer. Read the following opera labs blog to find out more.

The Web is changing and changing fast !

Cooliris (Formerly known as Piclens) now available for Linux

I’ve always been a fan of Cooliris and I think that it has been a great innovation in the browsing domain but I was disappointed that I couldn’t actually use it on my own Linux machine.


But thankfully now finally the long wait is over. Much to the joy of hundreds of thousands of linux users Cooliris released the linux version about a month ago.

Visit this link to find all information regarding the linux version, the minimum requirements, install instructions etc. and go ahead and change the way you browse pics and videos on the web.

cheers
