Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, both in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC and in Windows Live on Hotmail, Calendar and People. I am currently a Principal Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Social Networking team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for delivering features to support our web and client applications. I've been blogging since 2001 and like to play around with .NET in my spare time working on projects such as dasBlog (the blog that powers this site) and Send to SmugMug (an application for uploading photos to SmugMug). I blog about a number of technology and productivity related topics.

I was going to write a review of FolderShare, but all I was able to mutter was my excitement about one small feature, the MSN Desktop Search Integration. Well, Dennis Cheung managed to write a review already and to be honest, there is nothing more to say.
Since then Om Malik and Walt Mossberg have written glowing reviews of the product.
I really can’t add much here except to say that I continue to be amazed at this little gem. “It just works”.
I’m thinking of buying my parents the Iomega Network drive with built in FolderShare support. My parents don’t understand backup, and this is an easy way to provide them some form of redundancy. Most Iomega drives seem to support FolderShare, although it’s unclear what “support” means. I’m particularly interested in their 160GB Network Drive since it runs FolderShare natively.
FolderShare has some other great uses.
