Right now the thing thats blowing me away with the internet is what Google is doing with Google Apps. Everybody's heard of Google but whats Google Apps I hear you ask? Its just a system that google have created to enable you to manage email addresses @yourdomain........and a shed load more.
Once you get your company email onto Google Apps, Say hello to a whole world of new opportunities to use web technology in ways you never imagined, either because you didn't know you could do those things with the internet OR you thought that it would be too complicated and expensive.
A keyword is collaboration. There is, (and you can quote me) no more cost effective or better platform for providing a means for collaboration (ie: people working together on projects, tasks, day to day business management etc.) amongst colleagues, customers and suppliers than Google Apps and the suite of tools that Google have provided including , Google mail, Google chat. Google, docs. Google calendar, Google video, Google site builder, Google analytics....that'll do for now.
I guarantee I could provide you with at least one amazing new idea for collaboration in your business using Google tools - I know because it happens to us every week - in our own business.
Anyway - the message for today is Google Apps and cloud computing - get stuck in, its great stuff that WILL save you £££'s.
Here are some links:

See you in the cloud :-)
(I am not a commission with Google by the way - its just good stuff!)
