Submission + - Live Mesh: First Look at Microsoft's New Platform (readwriteweb.com)
technirvana writes: Microsoft's Live Mesh service launched today as an invite only "technology preview". It is Microsoft's attempt to tie all of our data together. Live Mesh synchronizes data across multiple devices (currently just Windows computers, but theoretically it will extend to mobile and other devices in the future) as well as to a web desktop that exists in the cloud. It can sync data across devices used by a single users, as well as create shared spaces for multiple users.
In an internal memo, Microsoft Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie wrote that Microsoft sees the Web as "the Hub of our social mesh and our device mesh." Ozzie called this the "social mesh" and noted that "in scenarios ranging from productivity to media and entertainment, social mesh notions of linking, sharing, ranking and tagging will become as familiar as File, Edit and View."
