On: Google Apps Marketplace Launches At Google Campfir...

[pie]

Of course... right when I was getting ready to launch a site meant to evolve into an app marketplace. Leave it to Google's serendipitous timing.

Fortunately this is a complex space with plenty of room for competition and complementary services.

I'd imagine with building into such a space on the back of apples success you'd be expecting some competition for the big players.

The value in Google Apps is that you can integrate with Google's services.

And apparently they are going to great lengths, like in GMail where you can add your own contextual objects (like they did with GMaps).

But this is only for companies that are willing to switch to Google Apps.
