I love Google.

Any modern day developer who is actively developing Android and iPhone applications should be very excited to know that Google is headed for TV... And they have a developer kit.

Having entered into a partnership with Intel and Sony, Google is aggressively planning to get Google TV into your living room as early as this fall.

Google plans to use Android phones as a device capable of communicating with Google TV, just like a remote control does today. Search for television programs you want to watch on TV using your Android phone and have the results displayed directly on your Google TV.

Like it or not, Google has the resources and experience to change the way we look at television. Google has full intention of merging the web with television and has created a business model that will clearly challenge Apple, TiVo, and perhaps even cable itself.

For the first time in history, Google will provide an open development platform that will usher in a whole new era of software development. Developers from all over the world will have the opportunity to create interactive applications designed to run on your TV.

With Flash support expected to be built right into Google TV, users will be able to experience applications such as Farmville, right on their big screen HDTV. Although this style of application might be best suited for notebook computers, Flash support for television does open doors for new application concepts and opportunities.

Personally, I believe Google has done much for the open source community, business, and obviously the internet. And with an informal slogan of "don't be evil"... I'm excited to see how this venture changes our world and creates new business and opportunity for the little guys.

I feel there isn’t enough time in the day to do all the things I would like. Exploring Google and all they have to offer small business is something for which I do not have enough time. Even still, I would love to become well versed in their technology.

Google has implemented a Google Apps Reseller, which should be of great interest to IT solution providers and professionals around the world. I have passion for internet technologies and Google has become a vital component of successful online businesses and careers. As an IT consultant, I don’t have the luxury of using time as an excuse. I need to know Google.

I may not be a Google Authorized Reseller, but at least I’m taking advantage of Google technologies and services for my business and personal use. Google and their many webmaster tools has become a best friend for small businesses. They contribute to the open source community too, which I respect.

If you’re in consulting business or an IT professional and you’re just using Google as a search engine, you’re missing out on some of today’s most important internet technologies. GMail is awesome email software and the convenience of Google Docs puts commercial applications to shame. But, it’s the Google API that truly makes it all so powerful.

If you’re already in the IT industry and taking advantage of Google Apps for your business, you now have the opportunity to add Google Apps to your existing VAR business model. The Google Apps Reseller Program is an opportunity to strengthen relationships with existing clients and generate revenue by having Google as your partner.
