Unreferenced date December 2009 Desktop Organizer software applications are applications that automatically create useful organizational structures from desktop content from heterogeneous types of content including email, files, contacts, companies, RSS news feeds, photos, music and chat sessions. The organization is based on a combination of automated scanning of metadata similar to data mining and manual tagging of content. The metadata stored in applications is correlated based on a structure for the data type handled by the organizer tool. For example the email address of a sender of an email allows the email to be filed in a virtual folder for the author and company the author works for or a music file is filed by the musician and album label. The resulting visualization simplifies use of desktop content to navigate, search, and use related information stored on the desktop computer. The data in desktop organizer tools is normally stored in a database rather than the computer s file system in order to produce virtual folders where the same item can appear in multiple folders to the user based on its relationship to the folder.

unreferenced date August 2009 Desktop sharing is a common name for technologies and products that allow remote access and remote collaboration on a person s computer Desktop computer desktop through a graphical Terminal emulator . The most common two scenarios for desktop sharing are Remote log in Real time collaboration Remote log in allows users to connect to their own desktop while being physically away from their computer. Systems that support the X Window System , typically Unix based ones, have this ability built in . Windows versions starting from Windows 2000 have a built in solution for remote access as well in the form of Remote Desktop Protocol and prior to that in the form of Microsoft s NetMeeting . The open source product VNC provides cross platform solution for remote log in. The shortcoming of the above solutions are their inability to work outside of a single NAT environment. A number of commercial products overcome this restriction by tunneling the traffic through rendezvous servers. Real time collaboration is much a bigger area of desktop sharing use, and it has gained recent momentum as an important component of rich multimedia communications. Desktop sharing, when used in conjunction with other components of multimedia communications such as audio and video, creates the notion of virtual space where people can meet, socialize and work together.
