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.

Socialwok (allegedly) adds collaboration to Outlook

Socialwok is a free add-on for Google Apps that you can pick up at the Google Apps Marketplace.

I installed it a month ago but have never really been able to connect people in my office using this app. I know it’s working, but it still does not really seem to be adding much interaction. I’ll keep trying and let you know if it truly does the job. In the meantime, here’s a video about using Socialwok with Outlook. Enjoy.

Office 2010 officially ships …

… but will it be any better than the beta version  I’ve been using? Maybe. Will I pay to find out? Not sure. So what do I know? I know that  Mashabl!’s lame coverage tells me nothing. Thanks for the Microsoft press release guys. I didn’t know you were a public-relations outlet for Bill Gates. Nice.

When Outlook isn’t enough of a memory hog …


Thanks to its new partnerships with Facebook and MySpace, as well as its existing relationship with LinkedIn, Microsoft Outlook is now set to eat up even more RAM, thus fulfillingthe Mayan prophesy that Microsoft would destroy the world in 2012. Also, you might remember back in November that Microsoft announced Outlook Social Connector, a feature in Office 2010 (beta) that Injects social network feeds directly into your sparsely-populated inbox for an even more crowded user experience.Your inbox will thank you (not).

Google Kicks Microsoft’s Apps

As Dan Frommer of the Silicon Valley Insider points out, The WSJ has reported that Google is building a store for Google Apps – the business version of Gmail, Docs, Spreadsheets, and the Calendar (all of which I use in my practice). The Google Apps Store would allow customers to buy add-ons only if and when needed to extend their basic Google Apps environment without having to buy the whole enchilada. Apparently Microsoft still has not gotten the memo however, as its Office 2010 (which I am now beta-testing) is still bloated, slow, and crash-prone in the proud MS tradition. This as Google tries to disrupt several Microsoft businesses, including its Office and Windows giants, and its Exchange email business. Google could announce the App Store as soon as March, the WSJ’s Jessica Vascellaro says. Like the App Stores flourishing in the mobile industry, Google could collect a cut from sales while passing the majority of revenue along to developers.
