Back at MIX, the Live Platform Services team announced a new standard APP-based protocol for accessing your Live data, and at Web 2.0 the Live Mesh team has announced plans to extend that API with synchronization-ready access to data, devices, application and activity feeds.  Ori Amiga shows a number of demos showing the native Mesh feeds, WPF applications using Mesh, a Silverlight client that supports working on and offline, a custom Facebook application that syncs Facebook photos with Live Mesh, a Mac client that sends photos to Live Mesh and even LINQ queries over Mesh objects.

Your kidding.  If you can't think of at least 100 ways you would have used this stuff as a developer....

Interestingly enough.... (at about 9:50 in the video)

How about a CC mesh between consumer, vendor and CC company.  Point your smartphone at the vendor CC device and approve the transaction.  The trans is authorized with the CC company using the vendors pipe.  The verified transaction is meshed to the vender without the vendor knowing any personal info (i.e. CC number, phone, etc).  The transaction is then automatically put into your accounting app at home because it is part of the CC circle and listens to the feed.  Also a good way to block your wife from CC usage for 2 days until you get paid Smiley

Also a cool way to define allowed vendors on a credit card - sort like a VLAN.  So you could an employee a company CCd that works only at HomeDepot and the local gas station.  Other transactions could be approved with a confimed message to owner in ~real time.  Also my QB or OA at work would be updated *with the digital receipt of items.  Save me ton of time holding receipts and entering data.

this video really opened up my eyes to the true power of Mesh. Thanks on such a useful video!

Now all I'm waiting for is the SDK and access to Mesh Cool

I agree, while the Ray Ozzie video was kind of vague, the On10 demo did a much better job at conveying what Mesh actually does, but this video really shows what "It's not just RDP and FolderShare, it's a platform" really means.

Absolutely awesome. Somebody get us on the CTP and provide us with an SDK!
I would agree with KevinB, Ori is really enthusiastic and a good speaker. The demo was excellent !!
The tech preview program is currently full so am a bit disappointed Sad
Although I got registered and am in the queue, hopefully would get a chance to try the SDK soon. .

Saw all the reviews/video's saturday and can't stop thinking about the awesome possibilities. Great! Can't wait to get my hands on it and testdrive it.

Not being able to attend a conference and being in the Netherlands is bound to have me drewl a few months but still...

Curiously though how you integrate Mesh with a server enviroment though...

Jochem.

instead of RDP for applications how about a softgrid type of deployment

So can you use WebDav on a regular folder as a way to set-up new files in the cloud?

 

What's the URL to use?
