With all the attention that Ray has drawn with his blog and his essay Why collaboration?, its real interesting to note a couple of observations at the COM Interop presentation at the user group tonight. I had Groove running on my notebook and I brought it up a few times to do things. I collaborate with some clients and people with Groove, keeping documents and discussions in sync. I also use it as a better Briefcase. And invariably, the comments were like "Wow, that's cool! I could manage my distributed project that way. I could keep track of bugs across a geographically disperse team that way. And man, you're disconnected and can sync later?" Then all of them would say "Who's Groove?" Its interesting to note that people need this kind of stuff and they have no idea its even out there or who Groove is (none of the developers in the room had ever heard of them). The other application I had running was Radio. Most of the people in the room had no idea of what a Blog was or what blogging was or what Radio was. Again, there was instant recognition of the benefits that could be obtained from collaboration with a blog too. I don't know how to phrase it. I'm not the writer Ray or Dave is but no one knows about this stuff and they should. They want to. It would make their jobs better. It would make communication better. How do we get people to collaborate?

Chris Sells is feeling a little burned out, as are a lot of folks he knows in the industry. "I fantasize about trying my hand at another industry". Meanwhile, we are eagerly awaiting the Boston area Web Services Dev Con. So don't jump ship yet, Chris. At least wait until after October before you decide to switch careers! [John Burkhardt]
Oh, Chris just whining-) He likes to see if people are paying attention every once in a while-). I can't wait to see you and everyone at the Web Services Dev Con!!

There is yet another new article up on the MSDN site that dicusses how to use HTTP filters, both in ISAPI and ASP.NET to intercept, monitor and modify web requests. Specifically, there is dicussion of using the IHttpModule interface to provide notification of server requests and re-route them based on criteria other than type or version.
