Every now and then we will share updates from other Googlers about the products they're working on if we think that info will benefit Google Analytics users. Google Apps for Your Domain is similar to Google Analytics in that it offers simple and useful ways to view and share information online. And with these apps, you are actively creating information as well. Marlin Gilbert from the Google Apps team explains:

Like Google Analytics, Google Apps for Your Domain gives you the opportunity to focus your precious resources on campaigns and programs that rapidly grow your business. We built these tools to enable your team to communicate and collaborate more effectively without any additional hardware or software. Everything is online and accessible from any internet-connected device through a standard web browser. And you can customize the tools your company uses with your own special branding, color scheme and content.

Currently, you can take advantage of Gmail, Google Talk, Google Calendar and Google Page Creator and the new start page feature. For instance:

• Using Gmail, without changing your email addresses, your employees can enjoy a faster and clearer way to read email conversations, and find saved messages with powerful search tools.
  
• Coordinating complex schedules is a breeze with Google Calendar.
  
• Keep your people in touch through Google Talk and use Google Page Creator to make your web page ideas come to life.
• The start page is a central place for your employees to preview their inboxes and calendars, access your essential content, and search the web.

And we are working to make more apps available soon, so you can keep focusing on what you do best.

Google Apps for Your Domain is free, and currently in beta. Learn more and get started here.
