Regarding Sync should be Silent , In a perfect world it would be so, but this is far from it. There is no way to automate this conflict resolution for binary files (if the same file is modified in two places). You can simply pick the lates

Pretty good article, covers all the basics. Some key points I cannot stress enough, from the article and me. * Built in Flash = Badness. Never use this. But if you really must, put a white piece of paper in front to diffuse the flash. * 50m

Can be a Startup For Startup. Another idea I had boiling in my head was a spin-off idea from Collaborative Spaces for tech startups (pretty much a bunch of startups sharing office space). Same concept, except for the Legal/Accounting Work.

Every time I hear something about URL shortners, a part of me dies inside. My Thoughts: Twitter is the main reason for the increase in URL Shortners. Instead of depending on outside services, Twitter should (must) implement their own shortn
