It is interesting to wonder what the Internet will be like in 5 years much less 10.

The more applications are developed and the more information we are willing to share the more interactive the web will truly become.

When remote desktop access was first introduced, I was blow away by the fact that no matter where I was I could get that file I left at work or home.

Then along came, on-line file and information sharing. Once again, I was in awe.

Now, welcome Live Mesh developed by Microsoft. Live mesh is a combination of both plus more... It just keeps getting better and better.

Right now, Live Mesh is in beta and the 5 GB “Live Desktop” is free.

Live Mesh allows you to access all your devices, including your mobile devices, and even your Mac (you need to install some software) from the Internet (most browsers are supported).

You can share files with others and get notified whenever someone changes a file.

When you sign up you get what Microsoft calls, your “Live Desktop”. This is 5 GB of storage on their server to put your shared files.

Manage your files, access, changes, post messages, chat with members (using messenger) and change synchronization settings from an area called a “Mesh bar”.

If you only need a quick snapshot of what is happening with your mesh you can use “Notifier”. It gives you a status of all of your synced devices and folders.

“News” gives you a continuous feed detailing everything that is happening on your mesh. You will know when someone has viewed, changed, or posted a comment.

“Live Mesh Remote Desktop” – Just what it says, it allows you to access a desktop or mobile device remotely. The nice thing about this is say you have a Mac laptop at home, a PC at work and your blackberry. Live mesh allows syncing to share and access your files. Receive mesh updates on your blackberry or any other mobile device.

I see amazing possibilities for this in our business.

In the days to come I will tell you how Live Mesh is working for me.
