Why is microsoft's threedegrees intresting?
Mary Jo Foley points today to this newsweek article about threedegrees. What does it do? It's about having a shared concept of groups of msn im buddies. You can do a series of actions to the whole group, such as start an IM chat with everyone, share a photo, send a wink (an animated graphic tied to a sound file that plays windowless on your desktop) and share music via musicmix. I'm sure some poeple will comment on microsoft shipping music sharing, but what makes this intresting from a tech standpoint is the technology bets that are involved. The groups are built on the microsoft peer to peer platform, which is ipv6 only. The IPv6 part means that NATs are a deployment blocker, so enter teredo. If this thing catches on, this might be the first major client used ipv6 app (yes IE support ipv6, but nobody seems to care).

Demo 2003 links
Dan has some notes from his Demo 2003 review. Two seem intresting.
OpenCola is a peer to peer app that allows a user to create folders from search queries, add and remove items, and then share out the folder in a peer to peer network. They also have some built in collaberation features. Check out thier tour and the screenshot. It looks like a nice combination of technology peices, but at the same time, it doesn't scream download and use me. I guess it doesn't add much more value then what I have already since I don't think tons of people this side of the firewall will use it.
Dan also links to Many One which sounds like it a nice concept. A richer browser, quality educatonal content... However I wince that it seems that being an open source solution is just as important(if not more important) to the folks as being an educational advance. All the things I saw on thier site are things should be largly doable with what we have today (although not as flashy) yet the precursors don't seem to be there. What are they adding to the table that changes the economics of what we have so far, and how do they pay the bills for what they add? I should read the site for real later.
