Do You SharePoint?

Do you develop Microsoft SharePoint apps? Do you host them online via the Internet, either as extensions to business intranets or as S+S/SaaS applications?

Microsoft claims there are over 100 million SharePoint users (end users I assume). With the announcement of Microsoft Online’s hosted and deskless SharePoint services at last week’s WPC 2008 conference, even more businesses will have access to SharePoint for their application needs.

Scaling SharePoint applications seems to be one of those troublesome topics application creators run into at some point. I would love to hear from you if you are developing SharePoint applications, particularly for a large group of users or for S+S/SaaS applications. Or maybe you are part of a local SharePoint users group, or have a blog about SharePoint that would be helpful to others.

E-mail me or post your SharePoint stories here. I’d love to hear from you, especially if you have any ideas to share about scaling SharePoint applications or getting past tough performance issues.
