Allways looking for short and comprehensive txt to describe the potential of Groove. Ashok Hingorani has written a very nice one:
What is Groove ? The ultimate P2P platform, because it goes beyond simple file sharing to managing any content, data, images, files, instant messaging voice and even video in a single platform.. Groove empowers the user by creating (persistent, private) shared spaces located on your own hard disk and not dependent on Servers, WebSites, Complex administration and the attendent costs. Users can invite selected members to participate in the activities in the space, Members offline when any new content is added will be automatically synchronized when they do come on line.
Why is it so important, to everyone Groove stores all information in a safe, encrypted, XML format that will be the way the world shares data tomorrow. Because of it's hooks into .NET, integration with MS Office products and connections to your Database, Groove promises to be the personal Information Manager we have all dreamed off, and the bridge to all other systems we might use.
