Opera Unite: a Web server in the Web browser

With Opera 10, we are introducing a new technology called Opera Unite, radically extending what you are able to do online. Opera Unite harnesses the power of today's fast connections and hardware, allowing all of us to help define the future landscape of the Web, one computer at a time. Read about how Opera Unite is going to change the way we interact on the Web on labs.opera.com.

Opera Unite is, as of this writing, available for download and testing in an alpha version. The company's information about its functionality and usability is very interesting reading.

Some examples from the project's dedicated web site shows that functionality like the following will be available:

• Host your Web sites running from your own computer.
• Share your personal photos with friends around the world without the need to upload them.
• A fun place for people to leave notes on your computer.
• A simple and safe way to share files directly from your computer.
• Opera Unite services can be accessed from any modern browser, including mobile browsers
