Alan Cobb Hi Tim,

I put a link to your fine article on the following Silverlight-forum thread: http://silverlight.net/forums/p/59148/150730.aspx#150730 I’ve extended the discussion to include indpendent AIR-like things like Titanium.

Indeed. I've been waiting to test the LiveMesh SDK since April 08 so I sign up and they send me the wrong token. Now I just get to keep waiting and waiting while my enthusiasm just keeps dying and dying. And I agree, the MSDN forums are total crap and unusable. I don't even know which threads I've visited/read or which ones are new in the LiveMesh forum. Very frustrating! “You get a token, think you are done, then discover you have the wrong kind of token and need to apply for another one.”

I'm not a .Net guy, so would appreciate any pointers/links to information on how this works if you have them readily at hand... When Flash Communication Server (now Flash media server) first appeared (2002?) it had something called Remote Shared Objects. They could be set to persist locally in which case you got real-time multi-client sharing and auto synching of data from offline changes that sounds similar to what you described. I'd like to be able to compare the two approaches. Yours truly, -Brian Hi Tim,
