Are you ready to go Google? Seems like everyone is going Google around us - the Business Times just reported that in Silicon Valley 97% of startups within the last two years are running on Google Apps. There are tons of cities booming with startups and other small and medium-sized businesses, and they all have one thing in common: they are benefiting from taking a 100% web approach. Google Apps allows you to focus on your business, not your IT.

This rapid adoption could be partly because Google Apps are allowing you to be productive anywhere, anytime. Flexibility is key as more companies need to do work on the go - while at the airport, in a coffee shop or at a hotel using a public wireless network. The great thing about Google Apps is that it protects your data by establishing an encrypted connection while you work. Without it, an unauthorized person could hack into your session and obtain access to your account.

Using an Internet standard known as HTTPS, Google will encrypt your data as it travels from your browser to their servers. This makes it much harder for an impostor to access your account. Google has supported encrypted connections from the day Google Apps launched over five years ago, and they made it the default setting for all users at the beginning of last year.

New look for Google Docs and Sites Available

Previously available as an opt-in option, the new look for Google Docs and Sites is now rolling out to all rapid release domains. You'll see clean menus and toolbars, prominent action buttons, and colorful presence that pops when you're editing with others.

Some of the Changes:

•  Google made it clearer that your document is always saved, by showing "Saving..." right after you make a change and then "All changes saved" once it's fully saved.

•  Google added an icon to the Share button so you can tell if your document is shared at a glance.

•  If you're looking for options that were previously under the Share button (e.g. "Email as attachment..."), you can now find these in the File menu.

•  By default, the documents list automatically fits a comfortable number of documents on your screen (large desktop monitors show more, smaller laptop screens show fewer). We also added density options to give you more control.

If you're not quite ready for the new look, choose Help > Use the classic look (or in the gear menu, for some products). Google will support the classic look for at least a few more weeks, but they're encouraging us to use the new look.

New for Gmail
