I was thinking on your lines actually. If I were to spend gazillion amounts of money, I would go for a product that has it all. Obviously Salesforce(SF) lacks some functionality for it to go tie-up mode. My take: Gmail is not all that cool etc. amongst the email packages out there. I rate yahoo the best with an even cooler API set. In google talk , u cant ever go invisible, which is a necessary feature if u want any kind of work done. But its APIs are good. I could install gtalk on my blackberry with ease. But my feeling, a CRM should have built-in collab tools no? Is SF a CRM at all? That means that we are now looking at mass market marriages. Google seems to be taking up its push technology feature a notch higher, which I can understand. But SF? And like you mentioned, even the super mass, Vista zone is where customers are at. Where is the security? Or do we care at all. I am not into CRM at all, but this news caught my curiosity and Im trying to understand the world(oops software world) domination approach that google is looking at by trying to understand its tie-up culture :) Nathan, Thank you for the wonderful detailed reply, to my linkedin Q.
