New Twist To Online Data Storage

Would you like online data storage that allows you to e-mail friends and family links to click and share photos and such without any software or registering for an account? That is exactly what this Project Fusion is supposed to be and, for the most part, it sounds pretty spiffy.

Currently code-named Project Fusion, the offering from hard drive maker Maxtor Corp. and startup Fabrik Inc. will give consumers a large-capacity hard drive appliance that acts as a personal server. It comes with software to let owners access the files on that device over the Internet. And users can create links for others to access those files.
