• Gmail
• Google Talk
• Google Calendar
• Google Page Creator
• Writely (Coming Soon?)
• Google Spreadsheet (Coming Soon?)

Interesting concept and a very logical one at that. I only use two of the above apps (Gmail & Google Talk) on any type of regular basis. Even then Google Talk is only because of it’s integration within the Gmail app.

This is a bold move by Google. They are striking hard at a nearly $12 billion/year Microsoft revenue stream. And they are clearly trying to get this out the door fast, in anticipation of Microsoft Office 2007, which will include collaboration features for businesses (as does Office Live, announced last year).

Although maybe it could be considered a bold move, I really don’t see this being any real competition with the Office 2007 application, even with it’s online integration. I think it’s still just a distraction from Google for Microsoft away from search.

Google Moving Into Office Space

The blog, MSTech Today, is written by Brandon LeBlanc a.k.a. “Sidebar Geek”. I enjoy his writing style and he’s got plenty of posts about his experience with various Office 12 applications and lots of other Microsoft related technologies, which shouldn’t be a surprise from the blog title.

I found the site by Googling for some Outlook 2007 questions from my previous post, which directed me to his archives on Outlook 2007. Some of his most recent posts in that category cover his experiences using Outlook 2007 and and questions and suggestions about RSS and calendaring within the tool.

Enjoy!
