For the past several weeks, Bamboo's COO has been conducting a series of twice-weekly presentations for employees on SharePoint architecture, with the idea being that the talks are being given as if for a CIO-level audience.  I've been tempted to blog every one of these sessions, but today's offering featured a section that simply had to be captured for SharePoint Blank.  Specifically, the portion regarding several applications (in addition to Office-related ones I've already covered) that essentially "plug and play" with SharePoint.

As we're in the final pressure-cooker period of readying our SharePoint for Project Management topic area for launch, I'm unable to start experimenting with any of these just yet, but that doesn't mean I have to wait to share them with you.  (Also, feel free -always- to push me to return to a given topic that I've said I plan to revisit if I haven't gotten to it in due course.)

So without further ado, here are a few Microsoft products that I didn't know worked with SharePoint:

• You can store and share a OneNote library in SharePoint (via Office 2007) and, by doing so, even those without a OneNote "client" will be able to access your data;
• As with Outlook, you can take the contents of a SharePoint library offline via Groove; and
• You can combine SharePoint and Popfly to create two-way mash-ups ... which can then be featured just about anywhere you like, including your Vista sidebar.

I may not have the time to play with these new toys in SharePoint yet, but if you do, by all means, please report back!
