Opera Unite

Just as I was settling for the Google Chrome browser, Opera launches Opera Unite. At first sight it seems like a module that is built into the Opera browser. It enables you to easily share anything you have on your computer to the web. You can set various privacy settings on your files too.

They key is that sharing your stuff on the web is easy and everyone can do it. It is real-time sharing as your browser has to be running, but you can always have the browser up when the computer is running.

 

I wonder how the record companies will deal with this when you can share music streams with everyone on the web?

Anyway, great work Opera, as it pushes sharing even further. Imagine when social media and simple sharing merges together even more.
