Google Pushes Its Online Apps Set
Google recently posted a piece on its official blog singing the praises of it cloud-based computing tools:"Every morning, millions of people wake up to a very refreshing experience at work. They don't see "mailbox is full" errors in their email. They don't worry about backing up their data. They can get to any file they need from any computer, anywhere with Internet access and a browser. They can all access and edit the same documents and spreadsheets at the same time as their colleagues. They use Gmail and Google Calendar at work as fluidly and easily as they use their personal Gmail accounts. They video, voice and text chat with their peers globally as naturally as they send email."
Google refers to the experience of immersing yourself in its online tools as "going Google", and impressively states that entire companies such as Motorola have switched their office software to Google, as well as 1.75 million other businesses, schools and organisations.
To celebrate and publicise the growing phenomenon of "going Google", the search giant have placed a series of bollboard ads in US cities such as New York. Its hopes that these ads will help to reach potential customers that were maybe not as acessible online.
With online apps such as Gmail, Google calendar and Google Docs, Google is in a great position to capitalise on the cloud computing boom that is predicted to sweep the internet and the rest of the computing world over the next few years. It remians to be seen what that other computing giant Microsoft will react with; however its safe to say this - never write off Bill Gates.
