Google Apps Team Edition makes collaboration easier
But that only works if the people you want to share with have already registered for Google Apps accounts. Now Google has launched a new version of Google Apps that makes it a whole lot easier to get a group of people registered quickly.
Google Apps Team Edition packs all the basic features like Google Docs, Google Calendar, and Google Talk. But when you sign up for Team Edition, Google Apps will automatically recognize your company or school email address and locate other users affiliated with the same organization and add them to your contact list. Now when you want to share a document or send a message, you should have a list of all the other people who have registered for Google Apps with email addresses from the same domain.
For example, if your email address is address@domain.com, you can share documents with any other uses who has a @domain.com address. Alternately, you can choose to share your documents with everyone that has a @domain.com address. While Google Apps Team Edition doesn't offer any features that you can't get with a basic account, the move should help Google grow its user base by making signup much easier.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.

That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Brad,
I am an engineer who works on Google Apps Team Edition, and I came across your blog post. Can you provide more details about the error that you're receiving when you try to sign up? It would also be helpful to know what email address you are trying to use. If you'd rather not post the full email address (I wouldn't blame you), please at least post the domain portion, as that is most relevant in troubleshooting.
Thanks,
Justin

Online collaboration tools like Google Apps can create extensive archives. As professionals make more use of these tools to draft and negotiate legal and business transactions, issues will arise regarding record retention and discovery in litigation. http://hack-igations.blogspot.com/2008/02/collaboration-e-discovery-and-record.html
