Opera Software's new technology is available as part of a beta for its browser, Opera 10. The feature, called Opera Unite, enables users to push content and establish communications without the need for third-party companies, such as Facebook, AOL or Flickr.
Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner called it a giant leap in the Internet, dubbing it Web 5.0.
"We're enabling every single user, every single computer to be a two-way street on the Internet," he said in a Webcast. "Every device can share information."
Opera Unite is available now with six free applications built by Opera. They include applications for photo sharing, media streaming, chatting, file sharing and a bulletin board.
Christen Krogh, Opera's chief development officer, said developers will be able to build even more applications for Opera Unite or retool some of the original apps.
A user logs into Opera Unite, picks which files to share and passes on a Web address, either public or password protected, to friends and family. To share, a user will need to use Opera Unite and keep it running. End users, however, will be able to access the content from any PC Web browser, although mobile browsers are not supported at this time.
