Weezo 3.0-Take control of your computer and files!

*Weezo* has a silly name but is a powerful program that allows you to
*control and access the files from your home computer from any other computer
with an Internet connection*. Weezo can help make your life easier and
increase your productivity. This program has an insane amount of features,
some of which you may never use but it's nice knowing that they're there.
Security is taken very seriously with Weezo, so *SSL is used to secure
connections* to your PC and random passwords are automatically generated for
its different services. You can set up and allow multiple users to access
your files, while pop ups alert you to who is accessing your files and
services. If you have a *website or blog*, Weezo offers an easy way to
quickly upload and serve video, music, and photos. This is great for power
users who want to serve their own content from their own machines. That said,
most users will still want to upload to services like YouTube and Vimeo. Some
other features included with Weezo include a *collaborative RSS reader,
bookmark sync, chat program, and streaming TV from around the world.* There
are other tools out there that perform these functions (and are arguably
better) but they store information in the cloud. Weezo is great if you want
to have absolute control over your own data. You can even stream your entire
music collection, as it also has iTunes and Winamp integration. Weezo also
has many *collaboration features* built in. You can easily share files by
dragging and dropping them into the program. It will automatically zip your
file(s) or generate a BitTorrent file for easy sharing. For local files you
want others to access, you can designate a folder to dump files into which
are viewable and downloadable via the Weezo web interface. Speaking of
interfaces, our only gripe about Weezo is that its interface leaves a lot to
be desired. It is functional, but looks childish, with a mishmash of colors
and glossy icons. There's a lot of unused space on some of the pages, which
makes it sloppy. While not pretty, it functions just fine. *If we had to sum
up Weezo in one word, it would be "ambitious." Weezo aims to help you control
all of your files and media and it succeeds on the whole. We just hope
Weezo's developers work on polishing its interface.*Download *Weezo 3.0* in
