Press Release Summary: A widget that displays desktop content on most of the Web 2.0
sites... Makes it possible to share without uploading to any server.


Press Release Body: MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - Dec. 12 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) --
Purplenova (www.purplenova.com) has announced the release of FunCaster - A widget
that allows users to make selective PC content directly accessible from popular
social networking sites, forums and portals. The FunCaster, says the company, was
developed in response to concern among Internet users about having to upload photos,
videos and other personal content on to third-party servers to be able to share them
with friends.

With instances of content misuse growing in number, many users believe that not all
content is to be shared forever and not all content should be uploaded on third
party servers. Uploading pictures and videos to third-party servers raises questions
about their privacy, security, ownership and fair use. The FunCaster allows users to
bypass these questions entirely by making it possible to display content on social
networks directly from an Internet connected PC.

The FunCaster widget is embedded once on the user\'s personal page on any of the
popular social networking sites. The FunCaster desktop agent is then used to
designate content on the user\'s PC that is to be displayed through the widget. Only
the designated content is displayed, and sharing can be turned on or off at any time
from the desktop agent. Viewers who visit the social networking site do not need any
additional software in order to view the content, when using any of the commonly
used Internet browsers such as IE, Mozilla, Opera, etc.

The FunCaster widget works with most of the social networking sites, including the
more popular sites such as MySpace, Blogger, Yahoo 360, Microsoft Live Spaces,
Facebook, AIM, Xanga, Ning, Friendster, and hundreds of others.

The FunCaster Widget is free.
