Looks like Matt Pope gets his Xmas present after all ;-) A couple weeks ago John Robb suggested he'd like to see weblog publishing tied to a P2P system, specifically for the purpose of publishing links to files in peer systems to the Web. As luck would have it, the timing happened to coincide with the arrival of the Groove Web Services beta on Tim Knip's doorstep.  Apparently, Tim's been working to demonstrate what John requested, and more.  Check it out: Published links to files in Groove here Blogging from Groove discussion here Tim's Radio feature request for Dave here Hah, this is awesome stuff; enables collaborative blogging, and get's me the multiple computer support for Radio I asked for as well.  Can't wait to see what else Tim cooks up.  Tons of possibilities.

Sam Gentile : Got the beta of Groove 2.5 and Groove Web Services up and going. It's quite amazing to me, in the matter of minutes, to pull all the data out of my Groove space with a simple C# program.

Tim has been working on some cool Groove-Radio integration. Stay tuned, more to come......

O'reilly.net : Applications, User Interfaces, and Servers in the Soup Soon there will be another option: users will start up a third-party application that supports Groove-style collaboration by making the appropriate calls to Groove SOAP interfaces. The folks at Groove Networks like to call this the "powered by Groove" model, and look forward to making the use of Groove workspaces as simple as "saving to a G drive" (that is, the workspace will be available like any other storage on the system).
