   Unfortunately, lost phone numbers, non-permanent home address and the lack of a white pages made it impossible.

   My girlfriend had lost contact with her mother for over 6 years and recently found each other on Facebook. They reunited a couple of weeks ago and have been communicating ever since. They are both so happy. That's pretty world changing for

   From "build something people want" to "built something people want" to "can't monetize 2 million users." Any other examples of this?

   Thanks Andrew! The Google Docs access is approved via OAuth when you sign up.

    Besides the GDocs integration, the big differences are our business edition that integrates tightly with Google Apps and shared folder recipients are not counted against their storage quota. And a bunch of little things.

    We support that.

    Insync works also outside of the Google Docs folder so complexly formatted docs are just fine :) If you are a premier edition user, Google Docs allows you to keep document fidelity.

    It depends on your use case. Personally, I use Google Docs and Office. But beyond that, it handles syncing and sharing outside of the GDocs folder. The feature set is actually quite broad.

    Noah has a way with words :) We love Dropbox and I actually met Drew in Startup School last year. Funny story but at that time, we were just beginning to reverse engineer Finder on SL and Drew basically said (paraphrasing) "It's a bitch." W

    The Google Docs sync is one of our features. There's a list on our homepage with screenshots – http://insynchq.com

    The Google Docs folder is the only part where storage is handled by Google. Folders outside of that can be shared and/or synced and their storage is handled by Insync.

    Hello all, I'm one of the founders of Insync. I shared the demo with Noah not knowing he would post it here. I'm glad he did :) I will be glad to answer any questions.

    If gdocs to gdocs, then google takes care of it. If desktop to gdocs, we employ a simple conflict resolution where the conflicted copy gets saved locally.

    Yeah, I do the same but it looks like the majority uses their country specific Google pages.

    I'm assuming you are only talking about Google's US homepage? (i.e. not including youtube and other non google.com Google properties)?

    I don't see why they can't go to all today. They probably ship products to more countries.

    Would be great if Amazon considered more 3rd world countries as those countries don't have or barely have any kind of startup support/ecosystem. It gives the few individuals doing the startup thing at least some chance at scoring some "fund

    If you love the beach, super cheap to live, eat (fresh food) and really good devs but hard to find, consider Manila. I am from Silicon Valley but have been here for almost 7 years. Downsides: traffic, small startup scene and hard to raise m

    Data syncing is a huge problem and its need will only expand. Dropbox is at the forefront of this (i.e. when I think of search -> google, shopping -> amazon, online storage -> dropbox). The consumer space is growing (more device
