Opera becomes a web server from a web browser

In an announcement early Tuesday morning, Opera revealed the parameters of Unite, a product it says will "enable a whole new class of social software on the Web." The platform is designed to better facilitate multiuser online applications and to give users greater control of their data even while making it available (if they so choose) to others online.
Opera showed an assortment of Unite-built applications, including a Fridge application (put a sticky note on your friend's computer screen!) that displayed some interesting thinking about how users might interact when there's no need for large services such as Flickr or Twitter to mediate the process.
