Share:
NEW YORK, Nov. 10 -- In anticipation of the upcoming launch of Glide Effortless www.glidedigital.com/, there has been a great deal of speculation by industry experts and writers.
The goal and purpose of Glide Effortless is to provide consumers and business users with an integrated environment to securely communicate and share unlimited media and information with unprecedented ease and compatibility. Glide Effortless changes the status quo by removing the technical obstacles created when using non-integrated multiple installed software applications and online services.
To provide greater freedom of movement, Glide Effortless is designed to un-tether and free consumers and business users from current desktop mobility restrictions on their files, information and communications. Glide Effortless is designed to significantly reduce the dependency on local operating systems, desktop office suites and the current software licensing business models defined by those companies that control the desktop and that have greatly slowed innovation in recent years.
"However, TransMedia does not advocate freedom without responsibility," said TransMedia Chairman and CEO Donald Leka. "In the debate about file sharing and content management on the web, TransMedia has designed a product and business model to promote a new protocol for protecting everyone's content equally; establishing a civil online community based on respect for each others files, information and communications and providing consumers freedom with responsibility that still enables them to have fun."
Common questions that are being asked about Glide Effortless in anticipation of its launch later this month include the following:
1) Is Glide Effortless a Peer to Peer Network?
No. Unlike Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks, Glide Effortless provides a centralized and rules based system for legal sharing, download, and subscription services that delivers a consistent 24/7 user experience. When users share media in Glide Effortless, they are sharing links to protected Glide Effortless trans-coded streaming files for the purpose of protecting media content. Media can be downloaded only after a purchase has been made or rights have been granted by the content owner. Glide Effortless is designed to provide both media companies and consumers with the tools to protect their content, information and communications respectively. Consumers enjoy a social and interactive experience when communicating, sharing and purchasing media.
2) Is Glide Effortless a closed system designed to confine consumers like some online portals?
No. Glide Effortless is a system promoting open interaction between Glide Effortless users and non-users alike.
Glide Effortless users can communicate and securely share files and information at will with anyone. They can share unlimited media and information in tiny 5K Glide MailShares; and share and simultaneously experience unlimited media and information in video, audio and text conferences. Communication and file sharing between users and non-users is two-way also enabling non-users to share unlimited media and information with Glide Effortless users. Users can also publish and dynamically update multimedia blogs, publish and dynamically update multimedia websites and much more.

Effortlessly. Glide Sync enables users to synchronize their files and contacts with their local desktop(s). Glide Sync features an upload and download manager as well as a contact importer for Outlook and Outlook Express for Microsoft Windows and Entourage for Apple's OSX.
4) Why has TransMedia emphasized compatibility and integration in the development of Glide Effortless?
Glide Effortless is a portable desktop for consumers that features integrated file management, file sharing, real-time communication and ecommerce capabilities. These capabilities translate into 12 fully integrated environment providing capabilities that are not possible with 12 comparable stand alone software and service offerings.
Examples of the benefits of compatibility and integration provided by Glide Effortless:
o Most media file formats of video, music, photos and documents uploaded by users are automatically trans-coded by Glide Effortless into browser based streaming previews creating universal compatibility with virtually everyone. Because file management and communication environments are fully integrated, these files can be easily accessed in Glide video, audio and text conferences and viewed simultaneously by all conference participants with only a browser and an Internet connection.
o Fully integrated video, music, photo and document management environments allow for the drag and drop creation of mixed media playlists that can be shared in tiny 5K Glide MailShares or in video, audio and text conferences and viewed with only a browser and an Internet connection.
Industry watchers have noted the kinds of capabilities that Glide Effortless affords through compatibility and integration are currently not found in offerings from companies like Yahoo!, Google and Microsoft.
