Speaking of Cloud Services, what about data? 
Wed, Nov 26th 2008 7:55p Brendon Schwartz
Since we have been talking about Cloud Services, one major area is cloud storage. Where to store your documents as well as all other related data requirements. To get a review of the current offerings from the big players take a look at ScottW's blog post. He does an amazing job talking about all of the options for these services. You can also find .NET code releated samples to many of the services on his blog.

Why all this talk about Cloud Services
Thu, Nov 20th 2008 7:52p Brendon Schwartz
You might be asking questions like: I thought you liked SharePoint, why is there all of this talk about Online Servcies or Cloud Services? SharePoint is something I install in an Enterprise why would I care about services for Consumers? No company in their right mind would use Online Services, so what gives? The short story is that if you are looking to move to Enterprise 2.0 or any type of social computing applications you *SHOULD* care. If you are one of the people that are saying Online Ser [read] Keywords: forms

FolderShare moving to the Live family of services
Thu, Nov 20th 2008 7:52p Brendon Schwartz
FolderShare is finally being moved to the Live Family of Services similar to SkyDrive and Windows Live Mesh. This time FolderShare will be called Windows Live Sync. This is great to see everything moving into the cloud and into the Live Services. The only problem you might find is that your shared libraries. Make sure and copy them off before the move in December. What I still don't know for sure is what services I prefer. I use Windows Live SkyDrive the most for storing data, Live Mesh beta [read] Keywords: document

Upload documents directly to Office Live Small Business
Wed, Nov 5th 2008 7:52p Brendon Schwartz
If you are looking for place to store documents and collaborate on them with many people, Office Live Small Business might be the right place for you. You can get email, document storage, and a web site without having to manage the server yourself. As the name states it is for Small Business and there are other offerings for larger business, but this is a great place to start collaborating for your company. In many hosted solutions it can be a pain for non technical users to download [read] Keywords: document

Joining the Telligent team and very excited about it
Wed, Sep 24th 2008 12:51a Brendon Schwartz
I am excited to announce that I have the opportunity to join the Telligent team to work on a new product called Community Server Evolution. This product is going to allow me to follow my passion for social computing in the enterprise while still working with SharePoint (and ASP.NET). I have been using and following the Telligent team for many years now and currently use both Community Server and Graffiti CMS for the community web sites I run. I am so excited to join a product team again and b [read] Keywords: collaboration

Redirect to your own MySite Landing Page
Tue, Jun 17th 2008 1:52p Brendon Schwartz
Have you ever wanted to redirect a user to your own MySite landing page. It is very easy to do with a single delegate control. This will allow your SharePoint sites to have a profile page such as MyDevCow at any location in the site. First create a user control with nothing on the page. Something like the following Now create the code behind for a user control that receives a userprofile from the user information list. public class DevCowUserProfileRedirect : UserControl, IFormDelegateContro [read] Keywords: Sharepoint

Connecting the CQWP without changing ItemStyle.xsl
Sun, May 11th 2008 12:07a Brendon Schwartz
Reading over Liam's post on a good tip for using the Content Query Web Part (CQWP) to connect your XSLT styles by putting a reference in the ItemStyle.xsl file is a good idea, but it still modifies the Out of the Box (OOB) ItemStyle.xsl. In many cases, in large companies you can't change the OOB files and this file is no exception, especially since your changes would be overwritten by any product that changed the file also. The approach to use if you are using a different style than the out of [read] Keywords: Sharepoint

Partner TV talked with Dan Rasmus on the New World of Work

Lawrence Liu Twittered an interesting video by Dan Rasmus on the New World of Work, he talks about Social Computing in the Enterprise as well as why companies might start to add these applications. Dan's views remind me a little bit about my post Is Social Networking behind in the Enterprise?. One thing I talk about is the CIOs adding Social Networks for their employees in order to get good employees.

Server Side Integration of SharePoint and Facebook
Fri, May 9th 2008 2:40a Brendon Schwartz
Building server side components that can integrate SharePoint and Facebook have some requirements that you must solve before the integration of other components such as web parts can begin. Some of the major issues that must be solved are where do I store the Application Key/Secret and how can you maintain user authorization per page.
Here is what the flow looks like with the DevCow Facebook web parts.

Facebook like isn't Facebook integration
Tue, May 6th 2008 8:53p Brendon Schwartz
Building applications that provide Social Networking capabilities is not building integration to Facebook. Recently I have been working on some web parts that integrate to the Facebook API using a .NET library called the Facebook Developer Toolkit. When I tell other people that I am working on Facebook web parts I usually get 1 of 2 responses.
The first response might be, "Well I don't really care for Facebook and don't see why you would use it in the first place". Well honestly they are no [read] Keywords: Sharepoint

1 Night to Build a Social Networking Application with SharePoint 2007
Tue, Apr 1st 2008 1:11p Brendon Schwartz
A few months back Matt Ranlett and I went to an event called "Sleepless" The Ultimate Office Dev Weekend. At the event people were broken down into teams which worked over night to create an application for SharePoint. Luckily Matt and I were both on the same team and I wanted to share with you what we created for SharePoint 2007 in one night. We tried to create a site that looked and functioned similar to Facebook with the Social Networking features. Although I have not finished all of the w [read] Keywords: Sharepoint

SharePoint is many things to many people
Thu, Mar 20th 2008 11:35p Brendon Schwartz
Recently there was a blog post that triggered a blog post, that triggered comments on the blog post. The gist of the comment that shocked me is below referring to SharePoint. "There's no place to do that today and file-centric systems can never bolt on enough little wikis and widgets to ever get there." File-centric? File-centric? I really don't understand where this is coming from. I could understand if someone was using SharePoint 2001 how they might think that it was a tool more for jus [read] Keywords: Sharepoint

Create Custom Wiki Tokens for CKS:EWE
Wed, Mar 19th 2008 1:59p Brendon Schwartz
One feature that I like in current release of the CKS:EWE (Enhanced Wiki Edition) is the ability to have custom tokens.
CKS:EWE Custom Token List
If you have installed the CKS Wiki solution you have probably seen the set of custom tokens that you can use on your Wiki pages that looks like this.
If you looked closely at the actual markup you might have seen two tokens that don't match the list.
They are:

A bunch of different authentication options for SharePoint sites
Fri, Mar 14th 2008 11:34p Brendon Schwartz
I was talking to my friends, Andrew Connell and David Mann, about three of the most common Forms Based Authentication (FBA) options with SharePoint 2007 which he suggested I post for everyone to enjoy. The three most common options are LiveID, SQL DB with management pages, and using a custom provider that stores users and roles in a SharePoint list. Here are some suggestions I have for different options you have. Windows Live Authentication Membership Provider Provider Download: Windows Live Au [read] Keywords: Sharepoint

Adoption of Social Computing and Web 2.0 Applications
Thu, Mar 13th 2008 9:15p Brendon Schwartz
Adoption of any initiative in an orginazation, whether it be Web 2.0 applications or not, is critical to the success of the deployed application. Successful adoption of the new applications is also vital to the person who is the sponsor or stake holder of the project.
Many times with Enterprise 2.0 you must rely on good planning as well as a little luck. The most difficult part about Web 2.0 is being able to justify an ROI (Return On Investment) early on in a project. I recommend you never ma [read] Keywords: Collaboration

Is Social Networking behind in the Enterprise?
Thu, Mar 13th 2008 8:05p Brendon Schwartz
NOTE: This is a re-post from my orginal blog post on DevCow - Is Social Networking behind in the Enterprise?
The short answer is Yes it is, but there are reasons.
There is a bigger problem than just Social Networking, which is that many enterprises are behind on the Web 2.0 push. I’m not sure they are behind, but there just isn't always a good business reason to push to something that could just be a buzz word. There are two sides to Social Networking that should be looked at (maybe [read] Keywords: Sharepoint
