[felpaluche]

the trend is online

Thank you very much

God Bless you.

Still dont trust having all my sensitive files online only. I would at least need them backed up in physical form where I can get to them in the event i need.

there is a really funny cutting edge blog called iphonenova(dot)((com)) that shares some stuff that is a little sexist and racist, but its pretty funny!

i wouldnt visit the site if you get offended easily

[businesstvgeorge]

I think you should be able to download the apps, so you could have them stored on the hard drive, but it would link up to the online version so you can still share in the same way without the risk.

[businessadvice]

i think you can?

[businesstvdavid]

All makes good sense to me - there needs to be a bit more of a change in the way that people behave before this really kicks off. People still like to have things on their computer!

[businessexpertsjax]

businesstvrebecca - you are absolutely right! Working from a home office would be near obsolete if it weren't for the internet. I just want to know when the internet speed in NZ will compare with other Countries!

[BusinessExpertLouise]

Oh my god...working from home without the internet. I could not do that anymore. The internet can link into everything and anything and that's what I love about it.

[businesstvrebecca]

It sure is great to be able to work from home. Great when you have a family.

[businesstvgeorge]

At last Microsoft Office is dead, thankyou google apps

[businessadvice]

ok here's a confession - i still take a lot of my docs offline to format them in office... i find the formatting in aps is still not good enough?

[businesstvAndie]

Am so glad about that one, thats for sure!

[businessexpertsalli]

I think we are only seeing the beginning of online apps. I can't wait to see what Google develops next!!!

[businessexpertsmatt]

We will see many more apps come online over the next 10 years. I think the main issue here is bandwidth. The more bandwidth we have the more we will be able to do online.

[businessexpertsdan]

There's always the issue of trust that gets in the way of web based apps tho. a lot of people figure if their data isn't on their office/home machine then it's somehow more vulnerable.

[businessexpertandre]

This is absolutely true. The irony of it is that it's often far more secure than it would be on their own servers and backed up in a way they often couldn't afford to do.

[BusinessExpertLouise]

I also agree with Kelsi...my favourite thing is working from home and I love that when I need a resource, I can access through the MIGHTY internet.

[businesstvkelsi]

Online apps are way better than traditional software, my laptop is away getting fixed at the moment, but I can still work because everything is web based! Awesome!

[businesstvmark]

I agree kelsi - big BIG improvement!

[jittyslitter]

agreed.

any computer will do - AND i can finally switch to Apple!

[businesstvAndie]

This makes me wonder, what the next step up from Web based applications will be and how long will it take, before something like that comes up. The other thing, that is equally amazing is the brains behind these things - I sure would not mind a sneak peak into those brains!

[businesstvAndie]

Hahaha I just posted the same comment twice as my youtube seemed to be acting funny! So yea I am gutted! lol.So all you folks reading this, can choose between option 1 and 2 here...yea its not funny i know!

[businesstvAndie]

So that makes me wonder, what would be the next step up from browser based applications and how long will it be,before something like that takes the internet by storm? And you know what's even more amazing? The brains who come up with these ideas. I would love to have a peek into their brains lol!

[businessexpertsdan]

Well it didnt take gmail long to create a storm!

[businessexpertsjax]

Exactly businessadvice!... Every great ap I'm using revolves around web based aps. This has been a revolution for the way we do business - we'd be screwed with out it now!

[jittyslitter]

And then there is the connectivity of the aps - like when I post this to my facebook

[businessadvice]

When I think about this, so much of the cool stuff I am using on my computer is a browser based web ap.... is software on the way out?

Facebook, SaleForce, YouTube, Google Docs...  yourBusinessChannel :D
