The blog page doesn't work, and the main page brings up a permission dialog. Without knowing what this is about or why I should allow my video to be shared(or possibly recorded, etc), I can't click "allow".

Not that it matters much, but I called them several times, and replied to the original email. But I think you're focusing too much on the specifics. The problem is that your mail is crucially important to you, but rather less important to G

We've moved from Google Docs to Dropbox, at least as a placeholder; We're still trying to find a better long-term solution. AeroFS is leading the pack, once it is out of beta. For Email, we plan to, but it's a bit more complicated. I'll nee

Sure, and that's why we're moving off Google for hosted Apps. I entirely agree- When things are mission critical to you, you need them in an environment where you can control it, back it up properly, and ensure it stays up. We're not a prio

We have that ;) I called them, emailed them, and asked for updates in as plain of terms as possible. 4+ days on the missing file, 8+ hours on broken email.

For mission critical things, you want to reduce the points of failure, and ensure that when things DO go wrong, you have a reasonable escalation path. It's now been over 8 hours since it went down, and no fix from Google yet. 4+ days on the

That's what we're doing now. We have backups of all our servers, and user backups for all the laptops.. But Google Apps is a pain in the butt to backup, since we don't have direct file access to things. The best strategy I can see, if you w

That's where we've moved all our Shared files. I don't love the pricing models, or the privacy issues, or the security model, so we're looking for something else. AeroFS is the best off-site solution so far, but it's still very beta.

I've done this quite a bit myself, and I know it can certainly go down. But at least then I can do something about it.. As it is, it feels like my requests are going into a blackhole. This is very important to us, but to Google, we're jus

Business. We pay them $50/user, for quite a few users. Thanks for the clarification, I've edited the top paragraph to make that clearer.

That's sort of the point. It's a big deal to us, not a big deal to them. We'd pay extra for a tighter SLA if that option were available, but as it is, on outage hurts us a LOT, and them not very much. That would seem to be prescription for

Way to go! Those mockups look amazing- They're clearly Facebook inspired, but it brings it's own flavor to the party. Did you make these in Photoshop, or HTML? Did you do these yourself, or have these made up? Either way, FANTASTIC work.

I absolutely agree with this- I've been in negotiations with a CDN for the last week. They refused to send me real numbers, or give me a test file.. It was "Let's set this up, and a third party source will verify". What's the price? It depe

I'm not sure how you know the difference between a session cookie and "other" cookie from a technical level. You could do a per-cookie approval, but that gets tedious quickly.
