Today I setup Google Apps on SilverbackApparel.com and I have to say that I have been amazed by Google once again. Google Apps essentially plugs Gmail, Gcalendar, Gtalk, iGoogle and Gdocs into your website and allows you to manage those under you own domain name. I for example am using [Edit: Removed Email Address Because of Spam] (one of my corporate email addresses) and instead of using some third rate email solution to manage my emails, I get to manage everything from withing a Gmail interface. I personally love using gmail because it has made email so simple, reliable (unlike hotmail), fast and junk mail free. Not only this, you get 2 GB of storage and POP3 access for Outlook as well just like Gmail. What makes this all the better is that all of these benefits apply to Google Apps for a very Googlish price: $0. With Microsoft you’d pay maybe hundreds, but at Google yes it’s free…And here is the kicker…You can them everything to fit you corporate image.

If there is any interest and you want a step by step of how I did it just post a comment and I’ll go through it.
