Jooce.com
www.jooce.comAccording to Jooce.com, 500 million people access the 'net from cybercafés each day. If you happen to be one of those people, or you just want a consistent experience when browsing the web from multiple locations, consider this place.
The idea of this site is it brings the functionality of your personal computer at home to any computer you might happen to sit down at, even if you don't actually have a machine at home. You'll be able to access files, email, instant messaging, storage and lots of other applications.
The first step is to register and reserve your own private space on their servers. Next up, enter your instant messenger account details and click the green arrow to confirm. Be warned, when you want to talk to a contact Jooce will send them a message inviting them to sign up every time you text them through their ordinary IM client.
Next click the Forward arrow to run through all the options and set up your desktop how you want. There's a useful Tips run through when you first start up, teaching you everything you can do with Jooce.
As well as being able to use this virtual desktop in exactly the same way as a normal desktop - storing files, making folders and chatting to your friends - there is also a public desktop, known as a Joocetop, accessible through the green desktop icon at the bottom.
Here you can allow friends to access and share files you have placed on it. It works in exactly the same way as the regular desktop, but through your Jooce instant messenger client contacts can open up your Joocetop, and vice versa, making sharing files and information a breeze.
As well as being a really useful tool, I love the way the interface looks and works. Though if you're stuck using an older machine on a low bandwidth connection, you might find it all the animations make it slow to load.
