Released as an alpha in the past couple of days, Opera Unite offers an intriguing thought – what if the web browser could also be a web server?Announcing the release, Opera said, "Opera today unveiled Opera Unite, a new technology that shakes up the old client-server computing model of the Web. Opera Unite turns any computer into both a client and a server, allowing it to interact with and serve content to other computers directly across the Web, without the need for third-party servers.
"For Web developers, Opera Unite services are based on the same open Web standards as Web sites today. This dramatically simplifies the complexity of authoring cutting-edge Web services. With Opera Unite, creating a full Web service is now as easy as coding a Web page."
The alpha version of Opera Unite – available here, ships with six pre-build services.
File Sharing. This gives remote access to a pre-defined folder on your PC from anywhere on the Internet.
Web Server. The Unite browser can function as a simple web server, publishing pages as you have designed them.
Media Player. As for the file sharing service, MP3 files are placed in a pre-determined folder and can be played from any browser anywhere on the web.
Photo Sharing. You can guess how this works!
The Lounge. This is a self-contained chat room. Access to the 'room' can be password protected.
Fridge. Rather like FaceBook's 'wall,' this is a service where friends, family and colleagues can exchange notes.
New services, as they become available will be found here.
