Welcome to the Social Enterprise

In his opening video for the Dreamforce 2011 Day One Keynote, Salesforce.com highlights how the social web has sparked a technological and communication revolution. We're all connected via Facebook, Twitter and other social networks.

And we're learning and understanding in new ways. We're sharing likes and dislikes and we're able to have conversations with anyone. The social revolution is even helping to change the world we live in. Business can tap into the social revolution too, with Salesforce.com's suite of social media-enabled tools for CRM, business collaboration, and social customer service.

The enterprise is going social.

Welcome to Dreamforce 2011.

Google Chrome Gets Offline Access for Gmail, Docs, Calendar

Google on Wednesday unveiled a Chrome Web Store app that allows for offline access in Chrome for Gmail, as well as Google Docs and Calendar.

According to Alex Nicolaou, Google Engineering Manager: “Today’s world doesn’t slow down when you’re offline, so it’s a great feeling to be productive from anywhere, on any device, at any time. We recognize that offline access is important to many of you - especially for Chromebook users who spend most of their time living on the Web.”.

Alex Nicolaou also says that the app help us read, respond to, organize and archive our e-mail, even thought we don’t have an Internet connection.

Offline Gmail access is available today; access for Google Calendar and Google Docs will be rolling out over the next week. In Google Calendar's offline mode, users can view events and RSVP to appointments. In Google Docs, users can view docs and spreadsheets; offline editing is still in the works.

Google first announced offline Gmail in January 2009 as a Google Labs app.

Navajo Systems has been acquired by Salesforce.com

In the news:

Salesforce.com is introducing a new round of features to its Chatter social-networking platform, in effect increasing its bet that businesses will want to give their workers a Facebook- and Twitter-style experience.

The company recently acquired Navajo Systems, an Israeli security encryption vendor that previously offered encryption services for Salesforce’s customers.

Chatter allows employees to post comments and share files in a Facebook-style environment. These additions will include Chatter Now, an instant messaging tool that shows when colleagues are online; Chatter Connect, which will integrate Chatter into third-party applications; and Chatter Customer Groups, which will let employees invite people from outside an organization into the Chatter network. Salesforce plans on making all three available sometime in early 2012.

Free calls home from Gmail for all U.S. service members

We understand that it’s not always easy or affordable for our troops serving overseas to call friends and family at home, so starting today we’re making it completely free for all uniformed military personnel with valid United States Military (.mil) email addresses to call the United States, right from Gmail.

There are two easy steps to enable free calling from Gmail (detailed instructions):

1. Add your valid .mil email address to your Google Account
2. Click on the Call phone link at the top of the Gmail chat roster and install the voice and video Gmail plugin if you haven’t already.

And don’t forget that for friends and family at home in the U.S., calling troops abroad is as little as $.02/minute.

Similar to free calling within the U.S., free calling to the U.S. for service members will be available for at least the rest of 2011.

We recognize and appreciate the sacrifices U.S. troops make when they serve abroad, and we’re proud to help make it a little bit easier for them to stay connected and hear a familiar voice.
