I keep getting hooked more and more on Google Apps Mail. Over the last two weeks I’ve been using it more and more, and thanks to MomatHOME’s Judi Sohn’s well timed tip, I started using MailPlane. Within three days of use I bought and paid for it.

Microsoft–to keep longtime users of Exchange from migrating to better and more cost efficient services the costs of Exchange need to come way down…way way down or Google and Yahoo’s Zimbra are going to chew away at the business over the next few years.

Google talkabout informs us that if you are a user of Google Apps at your business, organization or school, now you can use the Google Talk Gadget on your Start Page to have chats with colleagues or classmates (including group chats).
Google Apps, among other things lets your organization create Gmail accounts that use your domain name — like you@yourorganization.com — instead of you@gmail.com in the email address. Other tools in the offering are collaborative tools, like Google Calendar, Google Docs & Spreadsheets, and the customizable Start Page, where all your students, employees, or members can view relevant content, preview their inboxes and calendars, and now, chat with one or more colleagues or classmates — all from the same webpage.
Perhaps it is time that you add your GoogleTalk gadget to your Google Apps.
