Letting Enterprise Users Live In Harmon.ie

Letting Enterprise Users Live In Harmon.ie

By Krishnan Subramanian on December 10, 2010

Yesterday at the GigaOm Net:work event, one of the Launchpad finalists was an interesting company called Harmon.ie (known as Mainsoft since 1993 and see Ben’s previous coverage here). The event itself was focussed on how collaboration happens today and how we will work in the future using the newer technologies that are pushing the envelope […]

Gmail, Don’t be a Yahoo!

Gmail, Don’t be a Yahoo!

By Zoli Erdos on November 5, 2010

In the 90’s I used to laugh at friends who all used Yahoo! as their personal email service. I did not understand how anyone could put up with the slow speeds of web-mail, and tried to convince them to install a decent email client, like Outlook, which is what most of them used in their […]

Dear Google, Google Apps Standard Users Are Not Freeloaders

Dear Google, Google Apps Standard Users Are Not Freeloaders

By Krishnan Subramanian on October 11, 2010

I am a long time Google Apps Standard Edition user. I can be considered as one of their power users because I not only test all their beta and labs features but also do it on more than 10 different accounts due to my association with various business and non-business organizations in different parts of […]

GOutlook. Gmail Back to Earth... in Search of Revenue.

GOutlook. Gmail Back to Earth… in Search of Revenue.

By Zoli Erdos on September 29, 2010

I’ve been long-time Gmail fan, having used it from the very early days, for almost 5 years now. The key reasons why I switched and have stuck with the service ever since were the productivity boosters, first of all: Threaded conversations Labels Search Google did to email what all new product teams should: throw away […]

Increased Security for Google Apps But They Have Another Problem at Hand

Increased Security for Google Apps But They Have Another Problem at Hand

By Krishnan Subramanian on September 20, 2010

Google today announced a two step verification process during Google Apps login which will help increase the security of organization’s data. Two-step verification is easy to set up, manage and use. When enabled by an administrator, it requires two means of identification to sign in to a Google Apps account, something you know: a password, […]

Google Push Notification For iPhone: Does It Matter For iPhone Users?

Google Push Notification For iPhone: Does It Matter For iPhone Users?

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 24, 2010

Google yesterday updated its Google Mobile app by adding push notifications for Gmail and Google Calendar. The idea is to notify the users about new mail or calendar events through push notifications on top of Google Mobile app and when the users click to view them, they will be taken to the web interface of Gmail […]

By Krishnan Subramanian on August 2, 2010

Increasingly, we are seeing trends that point out to Social CRM becoming the next hot thing in the application world. Unlike the traditional CRM apps, social CRM mines the data in your social network to offer more relevant information regarding your contact or potential customer. Even though the traditional CRM vendors are slowly waking up […]

Linking Google Apps With Gmail - Initial Observations

Linking Google Apps With Gmail – Initial Observations

By Krishnan Subramanian on July 13, 2010

For sometime now, we have been hearing about Google’s plans to let users link their Google Apps account with Gmail so that it can be used with other Google services that are not part of Google Apps. I know many people, including Cloud Ave’s own Zoli Erdos, who wanted such a tie-up. Luckily, Google invited […]

Now Tell the Difference Between Folders and Labels

Now Tell the Difference Between Folders and Labels

By Zoli Erdos on April 8, 2010

If you really think about it, there’s not much of a difference.  They are more or less the same. Folders are a very old metaphor, as old as email and documents are.  Early email systems physically kept folders in separate files, and even when they were no longer separate files, basic functions like sort, search […]

Google Buzz Is New Black - Solving A Problem That Google Wave Could Not

Google Buzz Is New Black – Solving A Problem That Google Wave Could Not

By Chirag Mehta on February 9, 2010

Today Google announced Google Buzz. Watch the video: The chart below shows the spectacular adoption failure of Google Wave as a standalone product. This was predicted by a lot of people including myself. As Anil Dash puts it Google Wave does not help solve a “weekend-sized problem”. Besides the obvious complex technical challenges there are three distinct […]

Productivity Hacks: Voicemail, Folders & To-Do’s

Productivity Hacks: Voicemail, Folders & To-Do’s

By Mark Suster on January 12, 2010

I recently wrote a post about avoiding the “Deferred Life Plan” and some related thoughts about personal productivity that came from Tim Ferriss’s book, The Four Hour Workweek. I would love to say that I’m the productivity guru.  Unfortunately my wife reads my blog and she’d log in and add comments to dispel this rumor […]

Don Dodge Dumps Microsoft After it Dumps Him

By Zoli Erdos on November 16, 2009

It’s less than two weeks ago that Microsoft let Don Dodge go, along with 5,000 other employees.  He parted gracefully, then soon posted: Getting dumped by Microsoft was a life changing event…for the better. The future is very bright. The opportunities are amazing. Don probably set a World Record in the speed of getting a […]

The Web May Not Equal the Cloud But Does Anyone Care?

By Ben Kepes on October 5, 2009

Over on the salesforce.com blog, Peter Coffee, Director of Platform Research at salesforce posted in light of the recent problems suffered by Gmail users. Coffee points out correctly that Gmail did not, in fact, go down. Rather users of the web application were unable to access their accounts. As Coffe said; Gmail did not go […]

Cloud-Based Email – Bringing in the Savings, and the Value

By Ben Kepes on July 23, 2009

Grab a cup of Tea – this is a long post I’m afraid… I posted awhile ago about Rackspace’s hosted email offering – a product review however tells only half the story. For this reason I wanted to follow up and look at the benefits the various cloud email providers can bring to their customers, […]
