March 10 FolderShare gets a faceliftIt's been almost 2 1/2 years since FolderShare was acquired by Microsoft. When we (the FolderShare team) joined Microsoft, we didn't have any idea of how interesting (and challenging) the journey would be. You only need to look back at all the changes (here, here, & here) that have taken place in the MSN - Windows Live group at MS during that time to get an idea of what we encountered. I'm really excited about this release. FolderShare was in bad need of a new paint job. The UX now looks polished and like it belongs with the other Windows Live services. We've even worked on the usability to (hopefully) make it easier to create libraries and get started with the service. I'm glad to see we're continuing to support the Mac client. Unfortunately we weren't able to release a new OS X client today with the updated website and Windows client, but I would expect to see a new and improved Mac client later this year. While Tom & Michael (two of my colleagues at FolderShare) no longer work at the company, I know they're as excited as I am about having Microsoft -finally- ship this updated version. Congrats to the FolderShare team on an awesome release! Can't wait to see what in store for the service over the next year. June 30 So I broke down and bought an iPhoneAll I can say is that this device certainly lived up to the hype. I'm so impressed with the fit/finish and just the entire UX. Congrats to Apple for a job well done. After retiring yet another phone in favor of the latest and greatest it caused me to reflect back on the last 10 years from when I got my first cell phone to carrying an iPhone today. Here's a timeline in photos.
2000-2002 2002-2004 2004-2006 2006-2007 2007 I was able to remember all of them except my first Samsung on Sprint back in 1998. Also of note, I'm also replacing my 20 GB iPod G2 that's closing in on 4 years old with the iPhone. Hoping I get 4 years out of this one (yeah right). June 28 Windows Live Folders has shipped!!The project I've been working on at Microsoft has finally been released. It's still in beta and if you missed the first window to get in, add your name to the list as we'll gradually be opening it up over the coming months. We're planning to add some pretty cool features in future versions, so stay tuned.
Here's a photo of our team during the launch. That's me in the background with the white shirt. And of course... I had to share this with a Live Folder. May 12 "Live Folders" made it to the top of TechmemeGlad to see the blogosphere is still eagerly awaiting "Live Drive" or "Live Folders" or whatever its called these days.
