| customer (buyer) was actually slightly higher than the value of each
| paying customer (seller) - even though there were far more buyers
| than sellers in the company's marketplace. (To put it another way,
| the network effect of a buyer on a seller was far stronger than the

Google Apps Afterglow

,----[ Quote ]
| It's too early to tell if Google Apps will be a hit. The price is
| right but it takes a mental shift to make a commitment to a web
| based front office. The U.S. FAA is considering  a switch to
| Google Apps [on Linux] and a successful deployment on that scale might
| create shock waves in the industry.
