Two Best Alternatives To Microsoft Outlook

2010-06-27T04:39:00.000-07:00

Undeniably Microsoft Outlook is the best Desktop Email Application around the web with lots of enhanced features and Fresh Add-ons.

But how far is it possible for a Startup to invest in the Microsoft Office Applications. They are quite expensive, Particularly Outlook Per Person License is exuberant.

Now the trend is, Startups are no more interested in spending more on the IT Infrastructure when its available cheap and sometimes even free with all essential features compared to the Expensive Packs

Here are two Best extremely cheap alternative to Microsoft Outlook.

Google Business Apps: They charge you 50$/User to access all of their application with the Email Server and Chat.

All most everything that you do in Microsoft Outlook is Possible if you can just stand its Interface which is no where near Outlook

Some of the best features:

$50 per user per year
Proven cost savings
99.9% uptime guarantee
25GB of email storage per employee
Blackberry and Microsoft Outlook interoperability
Mobile email, calendar and IM access
Helpful support choices

Bloggers: If you have registered your domain with Google, you get an access to most of their Apps and You also get an email id suffixed with your domain name (E.g mail@iamshiv.com) . One reason to stick with Google ism we are more than comfortable wit any of the Google application.

Zoho Business:

Unlike other Business Email Suits, Zoho Business suit is free for the first three users of the company (Think of a Start up with just 3 people)

Personally, Zoho is one of my favorite for Three reasons

They took Office Applications Online with an Excellent collaborative Interface.
Far better than Google Docs in terms of more applications , Functionality
I have been rejected twice by them in Interviews (LOL)

Zoho is growing at a rapid Phase with new features being added frequently, definitely Zoho has become a major threat to all other Players in the Online office Suit market (Mainly to Google and Microsoft)

From Tim berners lee to Bill gates, Internet had seen many game changers. Most of these people did ordinary things in an extraordinary way. They found the need. Feed the market with their revolutionary ideas.

They translated true human emotions in to products in a language called TECHNOLOGY.

Here is my list of “Top Ten Game Changers of the Web”

Note: List is not in any Chronological order.

Michael Arrington: No Wonder TIME Magazine selected him as one among the most influential people in the world. Techcrunch - A blog that raised, many Silicon Valley eye brows.

Michael Arrington runs the most popular blog in the world – Techcrunch that profiles promising Startup Companies, Products and websites.

A startup company can’t ask for more popularity if it is reviewed by Techcrunch. Techcrunch Awards for startups is one among the most privileged and popular in Technology Industry.

Craig Newmark: Online Classified websites were seen as Spam pages once. Craig Newmark changed the way we look at Online Classifieds. Now you can search anything in Craigslist, immaterial of your location.

Kevin Rose: Digg is again a rule changing Product, Open Digg Homepage; you get to know what’s hot and happening in & around the world. Typically a news aggregator mostly based on the user generated content. Predictions are high that Digg can become the Promising Face of News Portal.

When Kevin Rose was starting Digg, he invested $6000 into the site, which was supposed to be for a deposit on a house for him and his girlfriend. As a result of this, their relationship broke down. Since this, Rose has been quoted to say that "No matter what happens with Digg, I won't put business first again."

Mark Zuckerberg: Facebook had made this world a better place to communicate. 25 Years old American entrepreneur is definitely a game changer. Now, Facebook is not just a Social Networking Site, with 400 Million users in it corporate houses are making the best use of it to Target the right audience.

Mitchell Baker: She had the fanciest Designation in Silicon Valley Chief Lizard Wrangler. Firefox Browser - A path breaking Product from Mozilla foundation. It needs real guts to challenge the Good Father of Internet Browser – Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. The Latest ET Research Article says Mozilla has 31% Share in the Industry, with Microsoft dominating the race with 55%.

Jeff Bezos: “The Futurist” this is how, Jeff is identified in Silicon Valley. He started Amazon as an Online Book store and later catered to Music (VCD/DVD/MP3 Players) and now you get Toys to Apparel in Amazon. Late 2007, Jeff surprised the industry with the launch of Amazon Kindle (e- book reader) an Unbelievable, Unexpected and an Extraordinary Product that even Kindled Apple to launch its own e- Book reader version.

Evan Williams: A technology rebel who revolutionized the world with blogger and now with Twitter. Media had spoken a lot about Twitter and Evan. Now, what Next from Evan Williams head? is hotter than Twitter.

Jimmy Wales: TIME Magazine termed Wikipedia is the most reliable source in the Web that is close to Encyclopedia. A knowledge portal, with a prime motive to educate people.

Larry Page/ Sergin brin/ Eric Schmidt: Three Musketeers of Google who made this world a better place to live for us. $ 24 Billion in 12 years is definitely a landmark in the history of web. Google is a Verb in dictionary now which means S.E.A.R.C.H.

Steve Jobs: God of design. Steve is the only guy who understands what people need without Market research. Definitely a Revolutionary thinker, who can think only out of box

iTunes sold 3 billion songs in 2009 that makes Apple the largest Music seller in the world.

Wikipedia: If Google is the start, then Wikipedia is the destination to groom your Knowledge. I am doing this since 2004 – lot of changes. I mean it

Wikipedia is the best solution for Instant reference. History in a Snapshot, Knowledge is spread across Industries and Specializations.

Life would have been miserable without this Encyclopedia.

Twitter: Evan Williams is yet to derive – Twitter’s Revenue model. But the estimated worth of Twitter is close to $ 1.2 Billion. Internet history has never seen a Promising Social Application like twitter.

A friend of mine asked me “What if, there is no Twitter tomorrow morning”

The creator of Blogger & Twitter will definitely have better things to offer.

Facebook:

“Jessica Alona is a Bi*ch, I need to think of something to make to take my mind off her”

Can you imagine, this one statement made the foundation for the birth of the worlds popular website.

Zack made this status update in his newly developed tool (Later known as Facebook) sitting in Harvard hostel. Later Zack Drops out of Harvard to develop Facebook and change the world as we know.

Facebook is worth close to $ 2 billion dollar. Many investors want to grab this hot pie, its left with Zack to decide – A 25 years old boy who changed the rules of the social networking

Digg:

When Rose was starting Digg, he invested $6000 into the site, which was supposed to be for a deposit on a house for him and his girlfriend. As a result of this, their relationship broke down. Since this, Rose has been quoted to say that "no matter what happens with Digg, I won't put business first again."

Digg is again a rule changing Product, Open Digg Homepage; you get to know what’s hot and happening in & around the world. Typically a news aggregator mostly based on the user generated content. Predictions are high that Digg can become the Promising Face of News Portal.

Youtube

Youtube is the first & best product in the video category, Before Youtube there were not a single option to watch free videos online. Some products Jump to the next curve to stand out of the crowd - Now IPL is live on Youtube

Craigslist: Online Classified websites were seen as Spam Pages once. Craigslist changed the way we look at Online Classifieds. Now you can search anything in Craigslist, immaterial of your location

Most Popular Cloud Storage Tools

2010-03-17T08:58:00.000-07:00

Now, Cloud is very close to us.

Cloud storage tools allows you to Store all your files, Sync & Share those file and with much more functionalities.

I have earlier written about the Online file storage tools, but this post is exclusively about Cloud Storage tools along with Desktop Folder Application.

Zumedrive – 2GB Free Space

Dropbox – 2 GB Free Space

These tools are designed to be extraordinarily simple to use and there is major difference between the way these two tools operate from the rest

Desktop Storage Application – You need to download the Desktop Application, and you can store all your files in the desktop folder and share it from any device
Synchronization : Storing a file in your Desktop Folder (Zumodrive/Dropbox) can be accessed from any other machine (Via Cloud Storage Drive: User Name/Password)

I am fan of Dropbox, the most elegant Web 2.0 tool that I have seen so far with simple drag and drop option at an optimal speed.

Finally, Microsoft is getting things right

2010-03-11T03:26:00.000-08:00

The Largest - Mammoth Corporation still, for More than two decades Microsoft had been in the news for its Insanely Uncreative designs and Wrong Timing (Microsoft Launched its Social Networking Site in 2009- Live Planet)

Now things are getting better, Microsoft is no more a copycat – The hard earned lessons from failures seems to reflect in Microsoft’s recent Product Strategies. Now Microsoft is desperate about getting things right at its first move.

And they are ……

Successfully Launched, Windows 7: Ask anybody, the Feedback on Window 7 would be “It’s better than Vista”

Like any other Microsoft Product, Windows 7 is hardly flawless but it does get the basic things right and it doesn’t annoy you with alerts/notifications.

The Snipping tool and the Mouse over browser view are the two evident and useful features in Windows 7. To sum it up, Windows seven is sleek and faster

Social – Outlook: Microsoft Outlook is more social now. Outlook can be integrated with all Popular social Applications now.

Xobni is an outlook plug-in that integrates Outlook with your Twitter, Face book, LinkedIn accounts and more productively with your Hoovers Account – Should mention “Xobni is one of the Finest Multi Tasking Plug-in”

Bing – The Decision Engine: Bing is Microsoft’s attempt to tap the Market, outside the Business front. Though, Bing is not Microsoft’s answer to Google, it definitely deserves a Try for its good Interface. Infact Bing had given me good Image search results.

MSN Homepage Makeover: The Long resisted MSN’s Confusing Homepage is no more. The Big daddy of Business Applications is back with a Bang.

MSN Home Page gets a complete makeover which is visually pleasing with an excellent user friendly Interface and the best part of the homepage is its color – White (Most of the Successful Web brands prefer to stick to white)

New MSN homepage is more social –Your Twitter, Face book accounts can be accessed and Updated through the homepage.

The homepage is well segmented for different genres - New, Entertainment, Sports, Money, Lifestyle …

Thank god, there is no Microsoft’s – Twitter Version: I believe Microsoft must have strongly resisted itself from releasing its Twitter Version. For more than a Decade, Microsoft had been experimenting in social web resulting with numerous fiascos.

Good that Microsoft did not attempt to clown Twitter – This had prevented Microsoft from a self mockery

Now with the launch of New Windows mobile, Microsoft retail outlet, Convincing Ads – Yes definitely Microsoft is in an ideal path.

What Twitter Should do for Marketers/Enterprise?

2010-02-19T07:06:00.000-08:00

Dell had reported $ 6 Million, raise in their Quaterly revenue after using Twitter.

Late 2009, Infosys had closed a deal for $ 1.6 Million - a lead generated through Twitter.

Today, Marketing is Close to Impossible with out Social media Interaction. (Exceptions Apple. Craiglist ..)

Enterprise version of LinkedIn is a huge success among the Recruiters (Dr. Reddys had reported most of their recently RECRUITED Top management people are the Leads through LinkedIn: Business Today)

Now its time for Twitter to release their Pro-Edition.

Marketers found Twitter to be productive and gave multiple faces to it. But whats are Twitter’s plans for Marketers/Enterprises ?

Here are my suggestion for Twiter

1 Communities: Form Specific groups (E.g All Web 2.0 Freelancers, All Cloud computing Architects, All Business Development People In a single group)

2 Twitter had to do an extensive research to fit the people in specific groups, they should make difference from the way we create groups

3 The Paid Users, Tweet will reach all the Group memebers

4 Twitter can have a Sales(Customer Service - Inbound) /Consulting Team to suggest people while choosing the Groups.

5 Social Profile is the Next Phase of Social Networking – Paid users will have well definded Profile “For the First time Users will pay to a create Profile Page”

6 Paid Users should have access to Individuals Linkedin Profile, Onesource Profile Page.

7 Twitter should build an effective Location based Search tool
