Just a quick heads up about a new Facebook client for your PC or Mac from Microsoft, it looks absolutely fantastic; think Zune meets your favourite social network. The only thing I think its missing is Facebook Chat, but we all know how useful that can be on Facebook any way.

@Imhassan has loads of pictures about this new application from Microsoft and gives a pretty good overview of the application.

Download here (you will need to have Silverlight 4 on your machine so you’ll need to download the Runtime version from the Silverlight Developers page).

"I have annother tip. You could have all your documents folder synced to skydrive if you right click the my documents folder and change the location of my documents to a folder within skydrive. That way when you change something in my documents folders it is also updated to skydrive. You can do this to sync between computers if you don't exceed the skydrive limit."

"Whta's about hardlinks (fsutil....) - so you can have yor original useful file structure and those folders, which should be synced, as hardlinks in the skydrive-structure? However, Live Mesh rules and I am also sad, that this good important difference to dropbox & Co - I can select, which folders of my structure should be synced - is now missing. "

"I think Microsoft is reinventing itself in a good way. Deep SkyDrive and Office integration while keeping everything in sync (tablets, desktop, laptop, phone) is a great value that I think should and will attract some people as well as part of the Enterprise sector"
