Making a List, and Checking It Twice…

So, I just noticed that it has been over three months since the last blog posting.  Bad Nik…bad bad Nik!

Of course, this week is Dreamforce ’09, and while I cannot be there in person, I plan on following vicariously through tweets and at www.dreamforce.com as much as possible.  One of things I loved the most about the last two DF’s were walking around the exhibition floor and just talking with people about how they use Salesforce, and also meeting the vendors at the show (I know they are selling their wares, but make an effort to hit them – if not for any reason but to help them feel like the left arm they gave up to have the booth was semi-worth it) to see their applications to enhance Salesforce.

Which leads to another wandering thought of mine – the new AppExchange has been up for a while now, and one of the areas I loved the most before was the link on the last tab to all the applications a vendor had.  This came in VERY handy, especially with Force.com Labs – a collection of applications created by developers at Salesforce (and FREE!).  Now, with the next button taking forever to load, it is very hard to see all 175 applications force.com Labs has put out.  So, for your viewing pleasure, here is a list – they should also link tho the actual appexchange detail page.  Over the next bit, I will be pulling some of my favourite apps out, and detailing them a bit more for you.

So, there you have it – all 175 apps as of November 17th.  Until next time – and for those in San Francisco, say hi for me!  Even better, if in Foley’s, maybe even toast a pint to the northeast…I’ll return the favour here!

As an SForce ISV who has given their left arm in the past, I appreciate your sincerity :-)

Hey Mike, after seeing what the prices were, I had to double check after I picked myself up off the floor.

For those reading the comments, Mike is with Cubic Compass (http://www.cubiccompass.com/salesforceintegration.aspx), which has very cool apps for customer experience management (and integrated with Salesforce.com!).
