Google Office — Hang On, Here It Comes
Posted on August 29, 2006


I have been really out of touch for the last few days, this may be old news, but I think it’s cool, so here goes. Thanks to TechMeme for pointing me to TechCrunch’s post, Google Makes Its Move: Office 2.0.
They’ve launched Google Apps for your Domain, a set of Google services targeted to small and mid sized companies. With the new service, companies can use Gmail, Talk, Calendar and Page Creator under a single control panel. Applications and data will be hosted by Google, for free, with ad support.
The post goes on to say:
According to Aaron Ricadela at InformationWeek, Google will soon add their Writely and Spreadsheet products to the suite, add collaboration tools that will work across platforms, and even provide technical support.
I have been fascinated with the new, online office suite products emerging lately and Google is one of the players. They are ramping up to take on Microsoft. Read the post for all the details.

Thats awesome, I am a really big Google fan and would recommend gmail to anyone, especially with the Gmail Chat feature now. Hey man, just wanted to let you know that I posted a link to your site if you want to check it out at http://www.dipnoi.org/archives/category/technology/
While this will be great for some smaller churches who do not have the money for full suites, the lack of a CMS product makes this incomplete. And when Google does a CMS, one can be it will be ad laden and not too free if the site does well.
