SharePoint with 3D navigation system live!
Hi there everyone!
Last week I got the oppertunity to be a Betatester on the BumpTop Desktop Experience. This is great and I truly believe it will change the way children will use their computers in the future. BumpTop together with Microsoft Surface is just amazing.
I am a SharePointNerd as you know and therefore I just had to get SharePoint and BumpTop falling in love with each other and they did. How cool isn’t it to navigate your Document Libraries in 3D and stick your Image Libraries to your walls in the office look-a-like BumpTop environment.
Check out the movie where I play with a big Document Library!
Watch it and enjoy! Need more info? Email me!
The movie was made by connecting to a SharePoint document library and then assigning it a letter. Then I can Bump that folder into my 3D office. How cool is that?
Document Library WebPart released
So, you have a Document Library somewhere on your SharePoint and then on a deep down subsite you want to display documents and folders from that Document Library.
Is this possible? Actually not in this way it isn’t without this WebPart.
With this WebPart called DocPart you can set which Site and which Document Library you want to get files and folders from and then you set two different filters to filter the documents which are shown.
Let’s say you have created some META data fields like Department and TAGS in your Document Library. On the subsite you want to show all documents where the field Department matches the value HR. So all HR documents will be shown and available on that subsite thanks to DocPart.
As you see in the above image we can set the filters very easy as the fields are populated when you choose a Document Library.
Watch my video which shows you the WebPart in action.
Don’t you dare complain on my nervous voice, this is the first video I make with Jing Pro and their YouTube addin.

The future in retail! What about SharePoint?
I just saw the great video from soapbox and Microsoft titled Retail Future Vision. I adore the idea which is shown in the video and by todays technology this kind of stores should already be a reality.
What about the future vision of SharePoint?
I often try to imagine the next version of SharePoint inside my head. I am trying to image how it can be used for other stuff than the enterprise content portal market. What about me and my family, How are we going to use SharePoint in our daily life?
How is retail and stores going to use SharePoint and how can I as a consumer connect to that retails SharePoint. Can I choose to synk my personal shoppinglist so that I can see in a RSS feed the list of groceries and pricing? Can I send my store an email with the subject QUERY:PRICE and then type in MILK RED 1 LITRES in the body and I will get an email back with the pricing. If that would be possible I would be glad because I could email all stores the same shopping list and in seconds I would have all their pricing right in front of me.
I would like to handle all incoming mail through my personal WSS server so that all bills and letters got scanned and stored inside my SharePoint. This way I could relax and read mail whereever I am and whenever I want to read it.
What is your future vision of SharePoint?
