My Profile - Kin Lane - Google Apps

I really feel Google has the best grasp of the Internet and where it is going of all the big Internet companies. They are definitely in danger of falling into the same rut that Microsoft is in currently, however with the right approach I think they can avoid it.

I have recently made the switch to use Google Online Apps for most of my daily operations, this is after 10+ years of dedicated Microsoft Office and other Microsoft tools.

They just work for me! What can I say.

The core applications that I depend on daily are:

  • Gmail
  • Google Notebook
  • Google Reader
  • Google Home Page
  • Google Calendar
  • Google News
  • Google Docs

Other applications I use but not on a daily basis:

  • Adsense
  • Analytics
  • Googlebase
  • Blogger
  • Bookmarks
  • Orkut
  • Picasa
  • Web History
  • Google Maps
  • Google Blog Search
  • Youtube

A couple of core services I am workinPublish Postg into the core architecture of my daily work are:

  • GData
  • OpenSocial
  • Google Code
  • Android

These are three areas that I think are very "disruptive" and huge potential in what I offer to my clients as well as for how the Internet operates in general. I haveyet to realize the full potential of these areas as well as the rest of the world.

More to come!
