Microsoft Dreams of a Live Mesh

In this new millennium, our lives are becoming increasingly digital, thanks to proliferation of devices — from MP3 players to digital cameras to cell phones and of course computers. The challenge is to keep a handle on the data on these digital devices and the software programs that go with these devices. Microsoft thinks it has the answer, and it is called Live Mesh.

The much-talked about technology is a service platform that allows users to manage and access different devices, share and synchronize files and stay in touch with others from any computer by using the Web as a hub. Live Mesh users can, for example, access photos on their mobile phone from their computer and make them available to friends by placing them in a shared folder. In order for devices to talk to each other, you need to install Live Mesh software.


is also possible to follow a newsfeed that informs the user about the activities taking place in their Live Mesh; the status of different devices, the use of different files and people using them. People who share a folder can also chat with each other. In a demo given to us, Live Mesh seems well designed and easy to use. In a blog post, Microsoft gives all the details on the product.
