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.

Now you can refer to a search engine to find the things you didn’t know you cared about on Google Buzz. Welcome to Buzzzy.
Talk about your rapid deployment cycles. Google Buzz only went into general release last week (web-only attached to Gmail) and there are already plans to spin it off into its own app and, now, a third-party developer brings us this desktop Buzz monitor. And a very cool one at that. All of which points to the fact that Google has really gotten the hang of identifying creative ideas, bringing ideas to users, then tweaking the product while it is in the field. Not only that, but Google knows enough to make its API freely available so that 3rd party developers can get in on the action. The result with Wave and now Buzz is that changes can be made in real time based on customer comments (not canned feedback or inputs from a few opinionated beta testers). No sir: comments made about Buzz by users of Buzz were apparently picked up by Google, examined for feasibility, and implemented within hours.
