Do you all remember this post...?

Well, the option to login to GDrive using a Google Apps account is back:
e.g. ruscoe.net – GDrive (Service not available): https://www.google.com/a/ruscoe.net/Login?service=www10
e.g. google.com – Login: https://www.google.com/a/google.com/Login?service=www10
Could this mean we're any closer at all?
Would anyone like to put money on an April 1st launch? ;-) |
Good pick Tony. On April 1st? Philipp already said that last year ;) http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2007-04-01-n77.html |
DPic, it's not gone here... :confused: |
I don't think there's any harm in getting excited about April 1st once again :-) |
We got excited last year, and we got nothing except jokes. |
Don't forget Gmail was launched on April 1st ;) |
I completely agree with Jared, I think it will be the same this year... |
I think we'll see Google Drive this year, but I hope it won't be available only in Google Apps. |
It would be making sense to launch it as Google Apps only in the 1st time: -would enable migration towards a paying edition -would avoid all the "Google looks at all your files OMG!!!!" -the ads would come as more justified and better accepted should a generic version come later |
I am hearing that platypus is going to be launched. This will be Goog's entry into the Enterprise space. Locked it in with Gmail , Apps ,Mini and Jotspot .. tis like a practical enterprise suite of services that within a DMZ!! |
That must be what Scoble was on about earlier: http://scobleizer.com/2008/03/19/google-about-to-drop-the-other-shoe-on-microsoft/ |
Tony, your correct-- the chatter is around that this a big strategy move of Hardware+services . It will be an interesting move.. to see what exactly is the new value pipeline that is forthcoming. |
I just checked the login page now and the page has the title "Future Product", did it always say that or has that changed? |
There's a Bridge very close by I can sell to anyone who's interested, too. LOL. |
Oh yeeeeeeeeeeeees! Erm.. sorry |
> did it always say that or has that changed?
That's changed pretty recently I think. Maybe they're not going to go with the "GDrive" name anymore. |
Did anyone pick up on this strange post by Dave Winer ... "Google is doing something interesting". Odd but worth a read.

The 1st April is rapidly approaching ...
|
Voice has also reappeared:
e.g. ruscoe.net – Voice (Service not available): https://www.google.com/a/ruscoe.net/Login?service=voice e.g. google.com – Login: https://www.google.com/a/google.com/Login?service=voice
Could this be a GrandCentral integration for businesses?
(Also, the references to YouTube in the CSS have been changed to Apps Video recently.) |
I guess we'll have to wait then. I'm really disappointed I must say. |
