Glide Privacy and Social Networking

The development of Glide OS 3.0 as with its predecessors has considered the serious consequences of advertising business models found in online web services (in particular the threat to online consumer privacy) and developed a viable and sustainable alternative. In Glide OS 3.0, a user establishes his own personal web space and sets his own rules of online engagement. Each user can control how their personal web interacts with the personal webs of others. In contrast with ad driven online communities, Glide users get to individually set all of the ground rules and are empowered with tracking tools to protect their personal information and files. As privacy awareness grows and alternatives emerge, people are increasingly opting to protect their personal information and interact in a more intuitive and natural way.

Automatic Device Identification and Compatibility Engine

Glide's automated device recognition and trans-coding system makes it possible to share virtually any file with virtually anyone overcoming proprietary hardware and software barriers when sharing files with family, friends and colleagues. Glide makes it possible for individuals and families to purchase virtually any combination of computers and smart phones and be compatible with each other and with work.

• When shared with others, files are automatically converted and delivered in the appropriate format and optimal size
• Glide's automated device identification and compatibility engine functions within Glide's communication, collaboration and productivity applications
• Glide provides support for over 250 file formats

"One"

Glide's new Sync application called One, provides file synchronization across Windows, Mac OS X and Linux computers. Users can automatically synchronize all of their files including video, music, documents and photos to and from Windows, Mac OS X and Linux PCs with mobile access on over 75 mobile phones.

Glide also enables rights based file synchronization with other user accounts for secure online and offline social and business networking through the new Glide Groups application. A Glide Group is a place where family, friends, students, colleagues and people who share a common interest or cause can securely network, communicate, share information and collaborate online and offline. Glide Groups works in tandem with Glide's synchronization technology enabling friends, family and colleagues to remain in sync. All files added by users and file edits whether they are made online or offline are automatically replicated across all targeted online and offline synchronized group locations. Assignable rights control how files and groups are accessed both online and offline.

Glide's synchronization technology also works in tandem with Glide's version control maintaining complete records and user-friendly access to previous drafts. All file edits whether they are made online or offline are automatically replicated across all targeted online and offline synchronized locations. Another new feature called Glide Spider is a file location tracking system. Spider identifies the location of all copies of a file and who has file access with the ability to immediately change or revoke access rights.

Finally, Glide's synchronization technology works together with Glide's device recognition and file transcoding technology making cross platform personal and collaborative computing seamless

Where is the product link? Their websites do not make it obvious where to get especially the desktop edition or where to get the iPhone bit either or how to. Their website is missing a lot of links imho maybe they are all internal to the web product itself?
