SingleClick Systems Empowers Do–It–Yourself Home and Small Office Networking Customers with HomeNet Manger 2.0

SingleClick Systems, a provider of Windows®–based consumer and small and home office (SOHO) networking software utilities, today released HomeNet Manager 2.0. The new HomeNet Manager is designed to help customers configure, manage and troubleshoot their home and small office networks, and it includes new features to help share digital content such as photos and music instantly with friends, family and colleagues.

HomeNet Manager 2.0 offers enhanced features that troubleshoot network problems, help users get back up–and–running when errors occur, automate file and printer sharing, and simplify home network configuration and management.

A key capability of the new HomeNet Manager 2.0 is Digital Share Live, an integrated file sharing service that allows users to instantly share content stored on their home or small office networks (and attached devices) with friends, family and colleagues. To share files using HomeNet Manager's Digital Share Live, users only need to create an account and invite participants to join their network via a built–in invitation tool in HomeNet Manager. Once an account is created, and invitations have been sent, users have one–click access to the Digital Share Live network from within HomeNet Manager 2.0, and can start sharing digital content immediately. Users are also able to drag and drop any content within their home or small office network directly to the Digital Share Live network through the HomeNet Manager interface. (more)

NOTE: I just received a call from the Springboard Public Relations rep. She told me that for $5 a month users can upload unlimited multimedia assets to the Digital Share Live service and it will stay there forever. "So, I can upload gigs and gigs of video to the Digital Share Live servers and it will stay there forever," I asked. "Yes. I believe that is true."

If it is true...which I doubt....SingleClick Systems will attract a ton of abusive users and end up either changing their policies or lose $$$ in the long run.
