SaaS
- Posted by Avatar on July 1st, 2008 filed in Industry Leaders, Information, Innovations
Or Software as a Service, is more of a software delivery service for web based applications that was initially un-favored by vendors and developers alike due to the many security issues. The advantages are that the system is maintained at either a host (third party provider which hosts or runs the software on their server) or at the provider�s won servers which greatly makes support a breeze. Imagine being able to repair, deploy enhancements on a software that is deployed to thousands upon thousands of users without having to send out upgrades to the said users. Or having to get each and everyone to log in and get the updated software which is not always possible. The developer or software owner simply has to change the software stored on the servers where the application (program) resides in and everybody who logs in to use it instantly gets the updated version of the software. Little downtime, fast deployment of the whole system is the key and sweetest point which has been improved on by developers and software manufacturers like Oracle giving us better more reliable systems.
More of Google Gears

Google, one of the web’s leading companies has released the source code of a browser extension that allows online documents to be edited and saved even when the said computer is not connected to the internet. In a bold move, the same company has released the source code for the said browser extension turning it into an open-sourced venture to which developers and users alike can improve on. This overtakes Microsoft in their bid to do the same with projects that are under development. Google is the premier pioneer when it comes to implementing and adopting the move to take online applications offline allowing continued productivity even if the network is down. This eventuality has made the Google gears project ideal for implementing CRM solutions for enterprise and is currently slowly being adopted by many.

If we had a choice, we would go for the free software we can get on the web. There are a lot of them around us and apparently a tempting offer to pass up. But while we are enjoying these options, do remember that they have limited capacity. While some can make do with them, you just have to gain open consideration for possible threats such as spyware or viruses that may come along with them.
Nothing in the world comes free without strings attached. As far as the web is concerned, it is all and the same. Be wary of them.
Mobile and Desktop Applications from the Web
- Posted by Brian Yalung on May 28th, 2008 filed in Information
Software developed for interactivity to the web has now been categorized into two areas, mobile and standard. Standard of course pertains to the fact that this is the usual application that you can install on your usual laptop or desktop. Mobile caters more towards mobile phones and small computers that allow any owner to access the web with a limited capacity.
There are large differences between the two and apparently you will want to stick to the traditional one. But while that is true, you cannot discount that the Internet is quite a need wherever you may be today. Such is the reason for the need to develop mobile software today.
Too Late the Friendster Heroes

Friendster may have taken too much time rejoicing its success some years back. Five years ago, it was indeed the hottest site on the web. Today, it continues to be around but it has obviously taken a backseat to Facebook.

With this ploy evident, you will notice why it has become the leading social networking tool we hear of today. Many make it a point to log on each day not because of their friends but because of the applications that people have developed to mold Facebook into one of the ideal sites to be in today.
