Google Introduces Google Apps for Government

The Gov 2.0 Cloud Computing Green Light

Cloud Computing is internet-based resource virtualization that provides cost effective Software as a Service.

EMA projects cloud computing to be a $40-$50 billion industry by the end of 2011, growing to $160 billion by 2015 — predicting 100 percent growth each year for four years. [ Learn more ]

Google Apps is the first suite of cloud computing applications to receive Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) certification and accreditation from the U.S. government. The FISMA law applies to all information systems in use by U.S. federal government agencies to help ensure they’re secure. The federal government’s General Services Administration has reviewed the documentation of our security controls and issued an authorization to operate, the official confirmation of our FISMA certification and accreditation.

Google Apps for Government released. What about the rest of us?

My new friend Brad McCarty wrote a great article about Google Apps for Government here.  He asked the question, “What about the rest of us?” Brad also has very interesting things to share on Twitter. You can follow him at http://twitter.com/BradTNW

What is Cloud Computing?

How to Make Google Apps

This trend of Apps in Government and in the Enterprise is the one to watch.  The benefits of “App Stores” has already been proven by Apple, Google, and several other technology leaders.  You can get a good idea of how the Google Cloud works in this presentation.

What About Enterprise App Stores?

Sharing Enterprise Apps in a Secure Environment

An Enterprise App is most valuable when it is used by more than just the individual who created it. The real value of Apps is in their collaborative nature. To accelerate the reuse of Enterprise Apps, you need an Enterprise App Store. The App Store gives organizations a place where apps can be re-discovered outside of the immediate group that created the App. [ Learn more ]

Fav Five Friday: Instant Community with OpenSocial by Google

Happy Fav Five Friday!

Instant Communities for Wordpress Blogs & other Web Media with Google’s Open Social

Hello! Seems like my “Web Developer” side is breaking out today. I have a few things about the Collective Intelligence from Social Media and how important this is in Enterprise 2.0. I may need to save some of that for another post, because my “Web Strategy” side was a bit suppressed when I re-discovered the power of OpenSocial by Google.

Harness The Power of Your Social Media Network with the Magic of Google’s OpenSocial!

Do you think SOCIAL Media should be SOCIAL?

Do you have the me, me, me mentality? If you have the me, me, me mentality then stop wasting your time here and go broadcast something about yourself.

Are you interested in creating relationships while creating solutions?
Are you interested in discovering the “Social” side of Social Media?
Are you willing to help people discover connections without hours of code because you also enjoy things in The Real World (ITRW)?

Taking Advantage of Google’s OpenSocial

Web Space is rather large and sometimes there is just too much “Digital Noise” to filter through just to get to what you want. The web is more useful & fun when you can connect with your friends and colleagues. We use social media tools and applications to improve our lifestyle, which leads us to the need of a common API that connects us to our social circles. OpenSocial is a prime example of a common API that does harness the power of your social network. This API uses standard JavaScript and HTML to easily connect “Social” to “Media”.
