Google Apps Marketplace Online Business; The Google announced last night that it is officially opening its Google Apps Marketplace — a store for online business software that works with Google’s products but is the designed by outside developers.
As the Journal’s Jessica Vascellaro and Nick Wingfield reported last month, the store is Google’s “latest attempt to get customers to switch to its online offerings and away from Microsoft programs.”

In a post on its blog, Google said it was creating the store in part because “there are hundreds of business applications for which we have no particular expertise.
The company, which said more than 50 businesses were now selling applications in the store, also highlighted a few of the initial offerings, including an online payroll application from Intuit and a free project-management application called Manymoon.
