A Green SpaceA bit of Green Space alongside the internet super highway. FolderShare Beta a Windows Live ServiceI was checking out the new site for the release of Microsoft's Origami project and I noticed a reference to a windows live service I hadn't seen before. On Nov 3, 2005 Microsoft Acquired FolderShare from ByteTaxi Inc. and made it available free as a beta product. There is a Windows and Mac version and claims "NO spyware or adware".
It is basically a Peer to Peer file synchronization application which can synchronize specified folders across multiple computers and between a PC and Mac. It also has the ability to provide access to files in synchronized folders from the web but the file transfer is not secure yet. The folder synchronization is authenticated via RSA and encrypted via AES over SSL. You can also set up folders to share with friends and send them an invitation with a link to download FolderShare so they can access you files. There are four user permission levels you can give to friends:
There is a maximum of 10,000 files per library, and you may create up to 10 libraries and works with any file type, although FolderShare can not transfer files larger than 2GB.
I have been using it for a couple days now and I got to say it doesn't use much resources and transfers files quickly. As I mentioned at the beginning of the post FolderShare will be installed on Microsoft's new Ultra-Mobile PC's which deserve there own post.

Kahuna Hotmail BetaI've been running the Hotmail Beta Kahuna for about two weeks now and I got to say I have been impressed about how stable it is.
There are to many new features to mention here and the UI is an all new AJAX implementation.
You can get more info from the Mail Beta page, watch the Channel 9 Kahuna video, or check out the Hotmail Team blog.
If you want to try it for yourself you can sign up for the beta here. Virtual Earth ReleasedThe first beta of Virtual Earth was released today. It is a cross between Google Maps and Goolge Earth. It is completely web based and works on IE and FireFox. Locate me is the only feature that only works on IE due to an ActiveX plug-in. If you have a WI-FI connection Locate me can pinpoint the location of the WI-FI node you are connected to and mark the location on the map, very cool if you are on a trip out of town an want to find pizza near you ect. Unlike Google Maps you can zoom in and out with the scroll weal of +- buttons. It also continues to refresh your searches as you move the map. You can bookmark, copy, or send an email the Permalink of your current location and searches. Here is the Permalink for my searches for coffee, pizza, and Geeks near The Los Angeles Convention & Exhibition Center. I didn't find any Geeks maybe I will if I search again September 13th to 16th during PDC. It also has some integration with MSN Spaces, I searched the location of Microsoft PDC and clicked the blog it! link and it started this post with the following content. Quote My Virtual Earth Scratch Pad Escape From YesterworldMy buddy Jordan sent me this link www.escapeyesterworld.com, you'll love it if you're as Geek as me.
