I appreciate it. I've really not been blogging consistently for a while now, but it's good to see a familiar name. I sat in on an online seminar on <a href="http://www.google.com/a/edu/" rel="nofollow">Google Apps for Education</a>, their packaged update which seems more coordinated now than just Google Mail for Domains--that's what you are talking about right?. It seems very attractive from the outside, but Microsoft's Live@edu is better on the support front at the moment, which management really pays attention to. It's a little frustrating when I really consider Google's to be the higher quality applications. I think it could really transform a lot of how our students and faculty think about their web presence. The "only" application I see now that Microsoft has which Google has not explicitly incorporated into the suite is blogging. I'm interested to hear how it is going for you.

Just a note to sigh in agreement at the 6 long years in my case (not quite a match for your 8). Took me 3 years to get everyone at Galileo to have a blog; then the 3 best bloggers quit. Back to square one. We're piloting the new Google.edu suite too ( http://partnerpage.google.com/galileoweb.org ) and playing around with embedded calendars on some Manila sites. It's a slow slog. Nice to have that impression validated. Resurrects my patience. Hey, David. Just a note to sigh in agreement at the 6 long years in my case (not quite a match for your 8) .
