Spymac Gallery – Express
Yourself like Never Before
The new Spymac Gallery
allows you to express yourself like never before. It uploads
massive multimedia files of up to 3GB online using Spymac
Disk technology with drag-n-drop ease. Files can be made
public or viewable only to your friends and colleagues.
Visitors can also comment and rate your new multimedia creations
for an interactive experience.
Spymac Disk
Spymac Gallery uses Spymac
Disk technology to make it easy to drag files from your
computer to the Spymac servers, where they can be displayed and
viewed. Spymac Disk shows up on your desktop as a local drive
just as an iPod or other device would, and managing files is
just as simple. In fact, Spymac Disk synchronizes with the
Spymac site in the background while you work, so sharing and
storing files online has never been easier.
Spymac Disk uses WebDAV
technology (World Wide Web Distributed Authoring and
Versioning), a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol, which
allows users to manage and control files on a remote web
server. This allows you to create a desktop copy of a
Spymac disk on your desktop, so you can easily transfer files
from digital cameras or memory cards back and forth. Once your
files are on your Spymac disk, you can share those files with
anyone you want to. You can manage your pictures, video, music
and documents from your desktop without having to know or
understand WebDAV or HTTP.
Drag-n-Drop
Website/Blog Creator
Spymac V now offers the
first drag-n-drop website creator for Mac users, completing
Spymac’s suite of tools that lets Mac users express themselves
worldwide. Spymac members can blog, email, share multimedia,
backup, sync, and create private discussion areas.
Spymac’s Drag-n-Drop Site Creator
allows users to build professional looking websites and blogs
using easy drag-n-drop technology. The technology is the
first ever AJAX based, online site building software.
Anything in a web page, including text, pictures, forms and even
web applications, can be dragged around and positioned
exactly where you’d like them to be. This powerful online
website/blog builder is incredibly easy to use.
