Dave Winer asks whether there are any Groove users, in the wake of Microsoft’s acquisition of Ray Ozzie’s collaborative software company.
I’ve been using Groove extensively for the last eight months for a new venture I’m putting together with three partners. We’re scattered across the globe, and I’ve found the synchronisation, filing system and storage (and hence backup) really wonderful for us. It’s fairly cheap and easy to use. I’m a fan.
Another aspect that has been very good has been Groove’s support. One of my partners has had a series of technology problems (unrelated to Groove), but they’ve been available, patient and helpful. I worry about that side of things under Redmond’s embrace.
The BBC’s Interactive Body is amazing (hat tip Lloyd Shepherd). I’m “shaky” on the skeleton and worse on organs. I clearly need some practice before I step into the operating room.
