A new web service that went live yesterday, Glide Effortless, allows users to create a personal web site to share files among their social network.
"It is a compatible browser-based online solution with integrated software and service environments, providing powerful file management, creation, communication, sharing and e-commerce capabilities."
Glide allows you to upload and share you favorite photos, music files, even Word and PowerPoint documents.
"TransMedia, the company behind Glide, has some legitimate gripes about the way you have to perform tasks on a Mac or PC." You have to do learn different ways to work when you cross-platform and to share pictures you have to send images via email.
The small company of 24 employees is trying to handle the overload of interest since it went live, so maybe its best wait a while before you try to register.
Then I’d suggest ‘you gotta try this’...for sharing!

I have tried it. The UI is way cool. I uploaded and shared some music (mp3s) and videos (Windows Media). The experience is really cool but they need a user manual.
I agree, they need to simplify the process. It took me too long to do what I wanted. Would the average user stick around that long, or move on?
Thanks for oyu comment.
Another similar service is Squidoo. They just released the beta version to the public this week.
Do you Squidoo?
I have been using it for a couple months now and have found it pretty easy to use and set up. I'll be posting more about it in the next few days, but give it a try!
