Just sent ya an invite. Just follow the instructions (they make it pretty
easy) and you'll be downloadin' in no time. If you get stuck anywhere,
just holler.

Anyone else? I'm thinking that we could all use this as a repository of BA
tidbits that we'd collected over the years. Pics, radio interviews,
whatever. In case I wasn't real clear in my last email (I don't think I
was), I'll cover what FolderShare is in a little more depth.

FolderShare is a service that allows you to share a directory (known as a
Library) and it's contents with individuals, groups or between PCs of your
own. Whatever you put into it gets copied to every computer subscribed to
that Library, automatically and without any user intervention. Think of it
as having a mirror image of the Library that's always kept up to date.

Microsoft bought the FolderShare company (BitTaxi) last year and plans to
integrate it into their "Windows Live" feature, so you can expect that
this technology will become pretty widely used pretty quickly.

If anyone else wants an invitation to the the library, just holler, either
on or off list. The login for the service is based on your e-mail address,
so please specify the address you want the invitation sent to.

Also, if anyone has any content they'd like to add, it can be sent to me
via e-mail, or if I know/trust you, I can give you Contributor permission
(have to be careful - don't want anyone adding anything nasty to the
Library!).
