Google Apps Script: Expanding the Google Office With Your Own JavaScript
Google Apps Script: Expanding the Google Office With Your Own JavaScript A public document footnoted with “Google Confidential” mentions Google Apps Script, a framework that looks like a kind of macro language (and more) for Google’s web office. The terms of service mentions a “Trusted Tester Agreement”, but Google did blog about this so it’s no secret; Google says “we’re inviting a limited number
Rough Type: Nicholas Carr's Blog: The cloud's not-so-silver lining
July 18, 2008 At Business Week, Sarah Lacy has a good article on the daunting challenges that software-as-a-service companies face as they try to build vibrant, profitable businesses. Some traditional software powerhouses, like SAP, are spending a lot to develop web versions of their applications, but they have little to show for the investments so far.

David Young's "Joyeur" Blog What sort of cloud computer(s) should we be building or expecting from vendors? Are there issues of lock-in that should concern customers of either SaaS clouds or PaaS clouds? I’ve been thinking about this problem as the CEO of a PaaS cloud computing company for some time.
