Sync your Facebook with your phone! What's the Sync Framework?

Posted By: Christian Liensberger | Jan 30th @ 11:00 PM
At TechEd Will and I had the chance to speak with Moe Khosravy, the lead PM (Program Manager) of the Microsoft Sync Framework. The interview is about the framework in general and what you can do with the current available bits. 

The Sync Framework is an awesome technology that allows you to sync everything with everything. It is based on so called “sync providers”. They do the work, like reading from a source and writing to a target (that includes also solving conflicts etc.).
 
Since it is a framework you can build your own providers and plug them together to synchronize all the different sources and scenarios that might come to your mind! Like for example you could synchronize your MySpace (or Fracebook for that matter) with your mobile phone and synchronize the pictures on your mobile phone back to your Facebook picture gallery. It is very simple by writing your own providers that read the data from one endpoint and feed it to the other endpoint (the only think you need is a way to read and write the data).
