Google is launching
Google Apps Labs today, a new platform for experimental apps (
Google Moderator is one of the first to be added). These are third party applications that can be added by businesses and schools using
Google Apps. In addition to Google Moderator, two other apps are available now: Google Code Reviews (peer review of software code) and Google Short Links (change URLs to something shorter and more descriptive). What's most interesting about the announcement is that Google will be opening up the platform to third party developers who want their apps to be available to the "million-plus businesses" using Google Apps today. Salesforce's AppStore developers will certainly take notice.

Issuu just
announced it has raised $5 million in a Series B investment from
Sunstone Capital, which had already provided Series A funding to the amount of $1.25 million in early 2007. The Copenhagen, Denmark-based startup has also added a slew of new features to its existing product and launched a premium version for professional publishers. When we first came across Issuu, which turns uploaded documents into interactive online publications for free, we said it was one of the first service of its kind that
didn't suck. In addition to the funding announcement, the company is also releasing a major product update.

In what must be one of the signs of the apocalypse,
MTV had posted hundreds - dare I say thousands - of music videos for your perusal. It's all there - go ahead and dig through. I found
Scarlett Johansson cavorting to the the sad-eyed crooning of Bob Dylan along with a video that essentially
blew my mind in 1988. Was the saint real? What was happening in the beginning? Do girls look like that?

I think this is a big hit for Apple. Why
Mike Arrington quits? Simply because Apple doesn't want Google Voice on the iPhone. I think it will make some noice soon enough, and I think Apple will have to find solutions to work with Google on that subject, my bet is the problem sits with AT&T contract...

EchoSign, the web-based electronic signatures and signature automation service, has surpassed one million users. The startup, which
launched back in 2006, has also helped sign and close more than $200,000,000 worth of contracts in one month. EchoSign’s electronic signature service lets you append digital signatures to contracts and other business documents, store them in digital form, and manage those documents without printing them out and faxing them. The startup has a
freemium model, where the you can use a basic service for free but pay anywhere from $14.95 to $300 per month for a subscription service that includes extra features such as PDF encryption and password protections.
