The peer to peer web with Opera Unite

For a few days now Opera software have been promising to reinvent teh interwebs.
Well, the day has arrived, in for the form of Opera Unite. Unite puts a web server inside every (opera) browser — challenging the traditional “client server” model of the web. As Chris Mills from Opera puts it

So what is Opera Unite? In a nutshell, Opera Unite is a collaborative technology that uses a compact server inside the Opera desktop browser to share data and services. You can write applications — in the form of Opera Unite Services — that use this server to serve content to other Web users

A very interesting development.
