Opera's announcement to reinvent the web...

Today Opera announced Opera Unite, a webserver in the browser. Opera Unite will come with Opera 10, and reinvent the web, at least Opera says so. For some days there has been a site announcing the reinvention, now it's out!

Definitely some good and fresh ideas, but how well it will be adopted and how it will change the web is open, just like Google Wave is told to replace email!

It would be great to have an open protocol just like Wave, so other users (firefox, epiphany, chrome and so on) can use opera unite with some add-ons or something. Let's hope they don't build a opera only thing...

Sounds a lot like a revolution is going on here and there, lets see what comes out! At least its a peaceful revolution...

i don't really think opera won't make it closed, no...
though they are not open source like us, they recognize the importance of open web standards and protocols (at least that's what they said on a lecture...)

rafael, they adhere to standards more closely than mozilla, they are involved in the css specification, everything they do in their browser is copied by mozilla.

they lead, others follow, open, or not.
