Ten times more applications for Google Apps customers
-
Starting today, customers worldwide can access a full spectrum of services from Google—including more than 60 productivity-boosting applications that extend far beyond any traditional software suite. Coupled with the ability for administrators to provide different sets of applications to different groups of users, the possibilities for empowering workers in new ways are remarkable. For example, you could equip your marketing team with Picasa Web Albums so they can collect and share photos from customer appreciation events, and let that team publish your company’s blog with Blogger. Services like iGoogle and Alerts, on the other hand, may be broadly useful, and could be enabled for your whole organization.

A free internet TV platform supported by advertising, Babelgum Beta, combines the full-screen video quality of traditional television with the interactive capabilities of the internet, offering professionally produced programming on-demand to a global audience with broadband access (a minimum of 450kbit/sec). As the name suggests, Babelgum's goal is to act as an international 'glue', bringing a huge range of content to a global audience - like a modern-day Tower of Babel. The bubble logo is a fun visual pun on the company name, but also reflects Babelgum's commitment to a green, global future. Babelgum's editorial focus is on three Passions, that is, specific subject areas that we present with depth and a point of view: independent film, independent music and underwater. Each Passion has a dedicated publisher who will select the best content and stimulate the debate. In addition, to the 3 Passions, videos are arranged into 9 theme-related Channels such as Film, Nature, Comedy, Travel, Sport, just to name a few.
