Google Apps for Online Collaboration

Google Apps Virtual Assistant ToolJust a few hours ago, one of my clients introduced me to the use of Google Apps. I’ve been using gazillions of Google products but most of those I use are free.

Google Apps comes with a hefty price tag ($50/year) so although I was so excited to use it, I kept my calm and gingerly checked out the product. What I’ve started toying with is its Start Page since that’s what my client asked me to set up first.

The personalized start page is a syndicated version of iGoogle, allowing you to set up dynamic homepages for your users that bring together your content, Google services, and the best of the web.

I have an iGoogle page but I don’t really use it so I don’t know the difference between the Start Page and iGoogle. But I definitely enjoy adding all the Google gadgets that are designed to make life more enjoyable for online workers like me.

My only problem right now is I don’t know how to import my BlogLines feeds. Anyone who can help me with this?

Also, I’m looking for a similar online collaboration software program that comes for free. If you are using anything similar, I’d appreciate it a lot if you can tell me something about it.

FAQ about export BlogLines feeds: From the My Feeds page, click the Edit link at the top of the left panel. There will be a link to export your subscriptions in OPML format

Then, in Google Reader settings, go on the import/export tab and you’re done.

Don’t forget to install Google Gears to use Google Reader offline and sync it easily

I have been using the free version of Google Apps with my travel website. I’m not sure what the difference is between the free vs the pay side but I like free anyday when it comes to online collaboration.
