  “Google, your one stop shop for running a small business.”

  Google is an amazing company. In just 6 years, they went from Startup, to the largest destination for internet searches. They did so by offering a minimalistic user interface, and combined it with the most effective and powerful search capabilities online. Their philosophy: Simple can also mean Effectiveness.

  In the last 2 years, Google has launched several web applications  that challenge traditional institutions, like Microsoft’s Excel, who have up until now, dominated the Spreadsheet market. One by one, Google has created a suite of tools that coincide with everyday business operations. Google has added many new applications online that makes running a business very easy, and very affordable. In fact, most of the services and applications offered are free!

  I strongly encourage everyone to take a simple inventory of the applications you pay for, and see if Google has a replacement for you.
