Google Apps Marketplace – Top 5 Google Apps

With the newly launched Google Apps Marketplace, I wanted to do a quick entry that highlights the current top Google Apps. While many Google users are still new to exploring the Google Apps Marketplace and the reviews are limited, the Marketplace looks to be a valuable place to find products and services to help you, your business or your domain. The Marketplace provides quite a few products and services, both free and paid.

Within the Marketplace, you can select a category, then filter away to narrow your search. Choose to sort by Highest rated, Newest or Most Reviewed and further refine the listing by Installable Products, Products or Service. The third filtering option is Refine by feature, which includes choices ranging from Calendar integration, Universal integration, single sign on, docs integration and contacts integration.

Today, I’m going to focus on the “Tops in Google Apps,” which include the top rated Apps. All descriptions and images are directly from the Google Apps Marketplace.
