Tubes, what next?

August 20, 2007

Tubes is the newest Web 2.0 product.

It’s a new way for sharing and synchronizing files through out a number of desktops and users simultaneously using what they call iTube.

Here is some of the description from there web site:

We didn’t stop after we made sharing anything impossibly easy. Impossibly, we made it even easier. Just drag & drop your stuff to a tube on your desktop and it is instantly assembled into your very own website, what we call a tubeSite. That’s right, now you can share anything with anyone on the web — every tubeSite gets its own URL. You can even provide guest URL access to any file inside any tube on your hard drive. And unlike mere websites, when you change anything — right on your desktop — your tubesite changes automatically. This also means your family, your students or your colleagues can edit your website.

And in case you are wondering about the name it comes from the pneumatic tube that banks use.
