GlideDigital.com - Seamless Web OS

Behind it’s mysterious but cool interface, Glide offers to change the way you do your computing. This web based operating system brings you a step closer to total access—narrowing the divide between desktop and browser. You can stash your favorite files, photos, mp3s, video clips, even PowerPoint presentations and Word documents onto your Glide page for sharing with others, or for looking through at a later time. There’s a special batch uploading program so you can drag and drop a bunch of files from your computer to Glide. You’ve got your own email account, video conferencing and RSS even. The Glide Effortless package is parceled out into nine different apps, Personal, Photos, Music, Docs, Contacs, AllMedia, MailShare, and LiveShare. Each works in tandem with the other, so you get a seamless web OS that handles just about anything you throw at it. Glide free gives you up to 2 gigs of storage while Glide Premium Monthly for about $5 a month gets you 10GB.
