I'm really impressed with Microsoft's new "cloud computing" initiative. For those of you not in the biz, cloud computing basically means storing / processing information from the web instead of from your local computer.
The new service www.mesh.com has some really cool stuff which you can checkout on their website. The one I am really impressed with is the folder sharing. You can now have a folder on your desktop that is synchronized with a folder on mesh.com. Furthermore, this folder can be synchronized with any other machine on your mesh and shared to other users of mesh. Why is that cool? Here is what I like:
- Synchronize chat log folders so my log history is the same on every machine.
- Synchronize personal projects that I am working on so I can work on them everywhere.
- Easily share my files / pictures with my friends.
- Easily manage remote computers.
What really makes this software great is that the folder's you share show up like any other folder on windows.
P.S. Works for Mac too!
