Rob posted up the other day that we’d hit the 100,000 download mark with the SharePoint Podshow (we’re actually well over it now). While a nice milestone – I thought we’d actually get there quicker! So if you know someone who isn’t listening get them subscribed. Whether they are into SharePoint or not doesn’t really matter! As Rob said in his post we really enjoy recording the shows. I obviously work with Brett so we get along well, and I’m yet to find someone who doesn’t enjoy talking with Rob – and so it all goes along nicely. Of...
