Mar 10, 2010 at 5:29am ET by Greg Sterling
Taking a page from Salesforce.com, last night Google formally launched the anticipated Google Apps Marketplace at its "Campfire One" developer event.

Google Docs Adds Files Storage, AKA GDrive
Jan 12, 2010 at 3:19pm ET by Barry Schwartz
The Google Docs blog announced a new feature that allows you to upload files and share those files with friends, co-workers and colleagues.
