Google in the News

I try not to write about boring personal stuff in this blog, but a colleague and I made front page of the Detroit News Business section yesterday for our work on Google Apps for Education.

To make this post more worth your time, I should tell you that if you know any small/mid business owners, they’ll love you if tell them about the Google Apps Standard Edition. In short, it’ll give them a custom-branded e-mail solution with free anti-spam and anti-virus while saving them thousands per year. No joke.

In closing, I’m not allowed to speak on behalf of Google so this post is purely informative and of my own opinion.

Update: Just came across a great 1min57sec Google Apps ‘Quick Tour’ for those interested:

I Will Give You Five Dollars

If you hear me say ‘uh’ or ‘um’ I will give you five dollars. This offer stands until the day I die.

This goes for in person and in my podcasts as well (I’ll PayPal you the money if you’re outside Michigan).

Fine print:
1) I’ll only pay $5 once per ‘uh’ or ‘um’ said. (Replaying a recording of me saying ‘uh’ or ‘um’ ten times will only get you $5 once.)
2) If the ‘uh’ or ‘um’ is in a podcast, the first person to point it out in a comment will be the only person eligible to receive the cash.
3) This commitment is effective from here forward. Past podcasts are not eligible!

Fun fact: This commitment was inspired by the following YouTube video.
