Cognifide goes Google
This week we made Google our standard office platform for all mail, documentation and collaboration. So we switched off zimbra (mail) that we hosted ourselves, we are making better use of calendaring now and are tentatively becoming more familiar with their online spreadsheet and document apps. Nothing special there.
As a user, I have been using Google apps for a long time now but having your company run off Google is a completely different experience. Google is a Platform. Out of the box you are armed with a pretty decent set of apps and tools to get you up and running quickly. However, these are by no means enough. Over the next few months I think we need to dig deeper to see how we can exploit the Google platform to create the Cognifide-specific services that we need to make us run more smoothly as a company.
Contender ready….

Google’s new App Engine sounds like a good way to add some internal project feeling to Cognifide-Google platform.
Maybe it is time to move from ruby to python just for that

I signed up for App Engine last week but was not quick enough. I’m on the waiting list. Absolutely no idea just how long that thing is…
Can’t complain though, 10,000 other geeks beat me to it…

Actually I’m one of those geeks that have been on App Engine from day one (well, day two)
And though I haven’t had time to play with that it seems quite cool.
Only minus: python only. Then again it’s a challenge…
