WelcomeToYourMac

I just read some interesting info about Opera’s new product called Opera Unite:

But Opera Unite basically turns your PC into a personal Web server, from which it’s easy to share files. Set up is minimal and bone-headedly simple, and you can use it to host all sorts of media; if your music library is on your home computer, you can use the Media Player service to access it all from any computer that’s connected to the Internet. There’s even a social networking element: people can post things to your “Fridge” (think Facebook wall), and you can allow or disallow people to visit, browse, and download.

In some ways this sounds exceptionally close to what we aim to do with WelcomeToYourMac. While Opera is focused entirely on sharing media and files, WTYM is also focused on remote control of your computer, plugin-ability, iPhone access, camera and screen access, and much much more.

I love the innovation that’s going on in this space, and be assured: WTYM is alive and well, and I’m excited about the future. I’d love to specifically look into how WTYM can piggyback and/or plug into the Opera Unite if you choose to run both. It’ll be interesting to see how it pans out.

Until then, we’re working (slowly) on tidying up the next release. I’m also 95% done with a native iPhone app to let you connect directly to your computer from anywhere, and browse, preview, and search all of your computers files.

awesome!
