Speaking of which, what are you guys using for shared calendaring? Google Apps? I'm still a little leery of tying business data / processes like that to a we-own-the-internet company. I've thought about Bongo, perhaps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bongo_%28software%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bongo_%28software%29).
- unalone 18y agoGoogle would immediately be out of business if they betrayed your trust in a way like that. Besides, you're already entrusting your emails to them if you use Gmail. That's probably a bigger deal.
- wheels 18y agoI don't use any Google apps, or even have a Google account. It's not so much a matter of trust; it's a matter of usage. Google looks like a search company, but in practice they're a data-mining company for targeted advertisement. On the whole I don't see a migration away from Exchange to Google Apps as a big win; they're both still platforms that lock you into a system that you don't control, but Google goes one step further and mines that data. I don't mean "Google is Evil!" with that -- this is what their company is about, and it of course makes business sense for them. But for this sort of infrastructure I'd prefer not to rely on them. Hint: nobody seems to love MS, but their business seems to be doing quite well.
