Glide File Sharing Service Debuts

Posted by samzenpus on from the share-away dept.

Dotnaught writes "Glide Effortless has gone live. New York Times columnist David Pogue describes it as "full-blown online operating system" that's a mix of genius and interface awkwardness. (Glide has been covered previously on Slashdot.) Pogue concludes "Glide's core idea is unassailably fresh and useful. If TransMedia's plans for world domination fall into place, maybe it won't need an elevator pitch. Maybe 'You gotta try this' will be the only pitch it needs.""

      Do you think you could document your findings into a man page or something so the rest of us have a guiding light?

      Saying Java is nice because it works on all OS's is like saying that anal sex is nice because it works on all genders.

    The Apple® Mac OSX(TM) version of Glide Effortless is scheduled to be available on Christmas Day December 25, 2005.

    Great, a reason for me to get up early of Christmas Day. Good thing I haven't got any family or friends!

    Obligatory:
    For a long time people have been able to share their documents, music, ... with everyone on MS windows. Albeit unwillingly.
