This is great!
Now when someone asks me what the phrase "jumping the shark" means, I will have an example to give them.
EDIT: A second look at Opera Unite tells me this is a neat idea, but only if it ships as a separate product and not as part of the browser. Imagine a one-click webserver you can use to share music, files and photos from your PC without having to put them "in the cloud". Opera could have charged for this service, and people would have paid gladly.
Putting this in the browser is, IMO, stupidity on a whole new level.
- rarestblog 17y agoI'm looking at it right now and it IS actually a button "Enable Opera Unite", with two-click enabling/disabling.
- GeneralMaximus 17y agoWhat I meant to say was that this should not be part of the browser. That just bloats it up. A separate app would have been much better. Opera's target audience consists mostly of geeks, anyway. Downloading and installing a separate app would not have been a problem for these people.
- gnoupi 17y agoDownloading an external webserver or ftp is not a problem for most geeks. But it takes configuring, knowing what you're doing, etc. The goal of Opera Unite is rather to bring this possibility, to another audience, to have easily such services.
