Google, Salesforce Grow Hosted-Apps Marketplace

Is anyone really surprised about this?  I would hope not.  The article linked below is a full 5 pages long (huge for us instant gratification people).  But, it really is a good read.

 

Salesforce has partnered with Google.  Ok, great.  Who hasn't?

 

Salesforce has been built on Saas.  Yes, like it on not, they have enough people that think they do it well, that it really doesn't matter that they don't.  I think they are opening up to ideas- looking for ways to take Microsoft ideas and re-factor them in Salesforce centered language and present as their own. 

 

Considering all the work going on around here on our CRM book I have been watching for others touting CRM as xRM and as a platform and not simply the sales tool that is is thought of.

 

Not saying Microsoft is perfect (some of their Live offerings in the works right now are REALLLLLY in pre-Beta and they think it's Beta).  But they certainly have the track record and resources to experiment and take some risks.  And I hope they keep doing that.
