+<b>Bittorrent sync</b>
+
+For some long time I was looking for a way to synchonize my data between my
+computers. I got a NAS and that was the place to store my data. When I was abroad
+I had to rely on both internet connections, because all my files are stored
+home. Today I got the invitation for Bittorrent chat. Sadly it was only for
+windows users, but on the website I saw the application Bittorrent Sync.
+
+It's not open source, but apart from that, it works           +---------+
+great! The application is made for Linux, BSD, Mac,           |         |
+Windows and even iPhone an Android. How does it               | Desktop |
+work?                                                         |         |
+                                                              +---------+
+You start on a computer with a directory you want                 /\
+to share with other persons and/or computers. It                 /  \
+will generate two key's for you. A read/write key               /    \
+and a read-only key. Feeding the read/write key to             / home \
+my laptop starts the synchonization of my personal           ~~~~~~~~~~~~
+documents. When it was finished, I could write in            / internet \
+one, and within a couple of minutes read the file           /            \
+on the other computer. If it's not able to sync,           /              \
+it waits till you got an internet connection.         +---------+    +---------+
+                                                      |         |    |         |
+If your router got UPnP support and you are dumb      | Laptop  |----| iPhone  |
+enough to enable it (or not disable it), it even      |         |    |         |
+works from abroad. Otherwise you can open the port    +---------+    +---------+
+in your router yourself and set the same listing
+port on you client.
+
+There is even support for temporary key's, just for one person to use within
+24 hours. Now you can share your files with someone else, give people readaccess
+on your pictures, work together on projects etc, etc.
+
+The only disadvantage is the fact that with N nodes in your virtual network,
+all the data is stored N times. So it cost you some more disk space, but he,
+redundancy comes with a price :-)
