A PEEK TO CLOUD STORING AND COMPUTING

As the world is switching from personal computer to netbooks and working all around with cloud computing and cloud storing.
With some developing cloud OS like the Jolicloud, Google Chrome OS etc and other giving you a browser integrated cloud computing environment like G.ho.st, Microsoft's skydrive, Glide etc,  We are getting a taste of how the world or precisely the online world is going to change. From web1.0 (when internet was read only  matter) to web 3.0 (when the word mainly means interaction much more like with igoogle, google wave etc) and now with cloud computing a lot of things are going to change in the means of how we used to store our data and use our resources.

Services like Microsoft's skydrive allow you to store upto 25GB of data online but has a restriction of 50MB max size, with almost the same interface like that of its e-mail service. But it does lacks connection with its other services, but yes it makes it easier to share documents online, another more interesting service is offered by google docs, which allows you to create, edit, upload and view you documents along with sharing it and allow you to permit who can edit it and who cannot!


But hey wait a min aren't we talking about browser integrated cloud computing services. Ok
for that we have pretty interesting services like ghost and Glide.
(Oops just in: ghost public service is closing from 15th march)

Don't worry we still have Glide which provides stunning cross platform compatibility and equally impressive granular rights.


It gives you a feel of a operating system in your browser comes along with various features like photo editor, text editor, e-mail client, and lots of other goodies like profiles, groups,  calender, meeting amnager etc
The most impressive feature is gdrive which opens like your My Documents where you can store and organize your documents, photos, music, video and bookmarks.




It even has a Glide One Sync Application which you can download and install in your pc and access your Glide account from there and when you are on the move and using others computer you can fairly use the online version.
Even the features like the photo edit and text editor are pretty impressive.
Glide provides you with 30GB of free storage.
And the interface is rich.


To use Glide you need to have Flash Player. A loads quite fast and its fun to use it.Glide can also be accessed from your mobile by visiting to glidemobile.com. It also offers paid premium plans for more additional storage.
