Opera yesterday unveiled Opera Unite - a new technology that they claimed will "reinvents the Web". Opera Unite allowed users to turn their computers into a server which would enabled them to share data and media with others directly. All Unite's functions can be controlled directly from an Opera web browser, eliminating the need for an intermediate servers or services. 

“Technology moves in distinct cycles. PCs decentralized computing away from large mainframes. Opera Unite now decentralizes and democratizes the cloud. With server capability in the browser, Web developers can create Web applications with profound ease. Consumers have the flexibility to choose private and efficient ways of sharing information. We believe Opera Unite is one of our most significant innovations yet, because it changes forever the fundamental fabric of the Web.” - Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera. 

There are currently six services available on Opera Unite: 

* File Sharing
* Fridge: share notes privately and securely which are pasted on a virtual fridge.
* Media Player: play music on your computer from anywhere.
* Photo Sharing: share pictures directly with friends.
* The Lounge: direct link chat room hosted on your computer.
* Web Server: run website from your own computer.

We are quite impressed on how easy it is to setup each services in Opera Unite during our test run. Even though Opera Unite is only in its alpha status, it surprisingly works pretty well. The controls are very straight forward and simple. But, before you able to use all these services, you need to login or register an Opera account first. 

The alpha builds of Opera Unite - integrated into a special edition of Opera 10.0 Beta, is now available for download at Opera Labs(http://tinyurl.com/mpmf6o). To find out more about Opera Unit, check out their official website (http://unite.opera.com/).
