Is the Apps Marketplace just playing catchup to Microsoft?

March 11, 2010

Is the Google Apps Marketplace just over-compensating for Microsoft-envy? It depends on who you talk to. It may not matter much in the long run anyway.br clear=”both” style=”clear: both;”/

Google TV: How it could change things

March 11, 2010

In 2005, I wrote an article that talked about the possibility of Google creating a set-top box, and how it could change the game in a lot of ways. The same is true today #8212; set-top boxes, for the most part, are really crappy and have a ton of room for improvement.
It sounds like […]br clear=”both” style=”clear: both;”/

Apps Roulette #1: Expensify

March 11, 2010

Expensify was the first of Google#8217;s launch partners for their Apps Marketplace to send me an email, so they get to be #1 in my Apps Roulette series. I spoke Wednesday with David Barrett, the founder and CEO of Expensify, both about their product and their integration with Google Apps.

Opera Mini 5 on Android: Why?

March 11, 2010

I#8217;m a big fan of the Opera browser, both in its grown-up desktop client and its mobile browser. It#8217;s my browser of choice on my Blackberry and it, along with Chrome and Firefox, are default options I offer to users. It#8217;s fast, pretty, and has useful features for developers. It works a […]br clear=”both” style=”clear: both;”/

Hey, Google! I’ll blog for broadband

March 9, 2010

I know it#8217;s a long shot. I can#8217;t compete with Topeka and have the town selectmen rename our little town Google. I really can#8217;t offer Google much in the way of enticement to bring their broadband experiment out to the sticks of rural New England. But I nominated the two towns that form […]br clear=”both” style=”clear: both;”/

Google Apps Marketplace: Apps Roulette

March 9, 2010

Garett Rogers reported Tuesday on the launch of the Google Apps Marketplace. Over on ZDNet Education, I had mused about the educational implications of the upcoming #8220;App Store#8221; for Google Apps, given our heavy use of the Apps for Education product.
Well now it#8217;s here and I have to admit that I#8217;m excited. […]br clear=”both” style=”clear: both;”/

Google launches the Google Apps marketplace

March 9, 2010

Google tonight launched what they are calling the Google Apps Marketplace #8212; a great way to build integrate and sell applications to the same users that are currently using Google Apps.

Google Translate: leveraging the world’s largest data store

March 9, 2010

How many of you use Google#8217;s translation tools? They#8217;re built into Google Docs, Gmail, and the Google translate website. With support for 52 languages, the tools are incredibly powerful in an increasingly flat world.
While only human translators can really capture the nuance and connotation of human speech, Google translate is the premier online tool […]br clear=”both” style=”clear: both;”/

Google TV search: DISH partnership=convergence

Because Google hasn#8217;t extended its reach into enough areas of our lives, the company is now testing its TV search in various capacities.
