Honestly, I can see this opening up a whole can of worms. Giving inexperienced users the chance to accidentally install, and leave running a webserver on a standard desktop? That's a huge potential security hole....
"No officer I had no idea those warez/porn were there."
People want to share their files online, thus they use a lot of different services for image, video and general file sharing. Problem is - a lot of people don't like their stuff sitting "out there somewhere", since in that case they're not sure where it is and who exactly owns it. As I see it, Unite tries to solve the problem by allowing you to create your own mini-flickr, mini-youtube and mini-whatnot on your own device. This way you always know where your files are, you know you own them, and you know you're not using any middleman services to share them (well, apart from Unite to some extent, obviously).
Gonna do a quick test drive when I get home and see if it's any good.
except this way, everybody has their own unique little place, the whole point of flikr/youtube etc was to centralise to make finding things easier
Personally I think this is a bad bad idea, the last thing the average internet user needs is more ways to get their computer broken into. Shoving something onto your machine "because it seems cool" is a sure fire way to get screwed over.
