Google Apps: the Big Reveal

Check out the video at Google Apps for Business

Hey Microsoft, stick this in your hard drive! Google Apps for Business, already fast gaining ground with both Fortune 500 and SMB customers with its dead simple suite of cloud-driven, maintenance-free business applications, just brought the smack down, introducing over 60 new applications (all Google properties) to every account for the bargain price of $0/month.  Game, set, match.

Google AppEngine for Business

This weekend I revisited the Google AppEngine – a project that has kicked around Google for some time but was heretofore confined to the company’s developer sandbox. But now Google has brought the AppEngine front and center, aiming it squarely at small businesses and setting off the latest salvo in the saga of Google v. Everyone (in this case, Google v. Microsoft and its entourage of high-priced application builders). I think it’s particularly cool that the Guardian, a British newspaper, has written about its own use of the AppEngine and development of its suit of company-specific, task-oriented apps or “Micro Apps” as they call it. Take a look and let me know what you think.

- M. Hedayat, Hacker in Chief

Today we’re launching a brand new product and framework called MicroApps which the diagram above describes. However, just as Google dogfoods its new products before launch, so do we, and we wanted to share some of the things we’ve been building as MicroApps using Google AppEngine for the storage and application development part. With 36 million unique and very engaged readers, everything we make has to scale, which is why AppEngine is ideal. With it’s highly scalable architecture and features such as task queues, built for creating loosely coupled apps, and memcache, AppEngine makes an excellent companion platform for MicroApps in which the apps can run anywhere in the cloud. The examples presented here range from new ways to find content which others are finding exciting or interesting, to live responses to the TV debates to ways to bring together all of the tweets of our journalists on specific subjects. <<Read the Full Article>>

Happy Birthday Firefox (p.s. burn in hell Internet Explorer)

Take a minute to wish Firefox a happy 5th birthday.  Can you believe? It’s been 5 glorious years since Firefox made it fun again to get on the Internet. Sure Chrome has been a noble experiment and Safari is as elegant as Apple itself, but Firefox is the original bad boy of browsers and it can still makes a geek’s heart flutter.

Happy Birthday Firefox
