Today Glide launched a turnkey web creation and hosting solution for the iPhone making it easy to create and share personal websites on the go.

You can access Glide's new web publishing tools on your iPhone at http://www.glidemobile.com/ and on your desktop at http://www.glideos.com/.

Glide Mobile is designed for families, students, and professionals. Create an online resume or portfolio, market your business, design a personal homepage your friends will envy, showcase your photography, music, video, writings and more. Your personal websites are free of advertising.

"Glide provides the most comprehensive set of mobile applications for the iPhone including a Microsoft Office compatible word processor, presentation application, photo editor and now advanced website publishing and social networking tools," said TransMedia Chairman & CEO, Donald Leka. "Glide increases interoperability and compatibility between the iPhone and Windows, Mac and Linux PCs and delivers services not provided by the hardware and traditional software manufacturers themselves."

Create Personal Websites on Your iPhone

Create as many personal websites as you like in Glide from your iPhone or PC. To create a Glide website on your iPhone, choose from a broad selection of Glide themes or create your own using one of your photos or a public photo in the Glide Society as a background. Add text and rich media to your website including videos, music, photos, documents, calendar events, bookmarks and more. Glide automatically creates a mobile and desktop version of your website viewable from your iPhone or PC.

Social Networking on your iPhone

Glide features tightly integrated email, project management and live conferencing applications making it possible for an unlimited number of Glide users and non-users to collaborate on personal websites, documents, presentations, music, video, photos and more.

Share a personal website from your iPhone with virtually anyone. "If you create a website on your iPhone that includes QuickTime movies, your videos can be viewed by a friend or colleague on a Windows Mobile Treo in the Windows Media format," said Mr. Leka. "Glide automatically identifies the recipient's device and makes your personal websites compatible. You don't have to convert files, Glide does all the work behind the scenes."

Glide's privacy policies differ greatly from online services like MySpace, Facebook and Google that rely on user data entry to generate revenue from targeted advertising. Glide has pledged not to engage in targeted advertising; a business practice that undermines the right to privacy.
