And we're officially at the point of the year in which Google makes good on its promises to get products and services out the door before the clock strikes 12 on New Year's Eve. (Or, more accurately, before Mountain View effectively shuts down for a couple weeks.)
We've got . We've got . And we've got — and, as it turns out, for apps, books and more.
And while it's Google's MO to first roll out new services to what I'll call "proper" Google accounts — what you use with your standard Gmail address,l if you want — I think they missed a huge opportunity this time with that limitation. This isn't just the usual groaning of someone who can't yet use a new Google feature on a different account for a few months. Google Apps are used by families for custom domains and shared services. Yes, it's now "Google Apps for Work" — and you can — but they're really one of the easiest ways to set up custom domains and emails for families, and not just work organizations. My family uses it.
