Google Brings Out 16 New Online Applications
Since March, new applications have been flowing to the Google Apps Marketplace, but now there has been a launch of 16 new programs, termed as the biggest addition since the service was launched.

More than just an online storefront, programs in Apps Marketplace are designed to integrate with other Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) applications such as Docs, Calendar and Gmail, and they are all available through a single sign-on password enabled by OpenID (define).

Most of the 16 new applications are related to business or productivity. Google has provided a brief snapshot summary of each application at its Enterprise Blog site. For example, Jive Express is formulated to bring social networking and collaboration features to both customers and employees. Among other features, Jive Express allows you to create discussion areas with comment features, create Web documents that can be shared collectively and add individual and group blogging and polls.

Another addition to the Marketplace, Gantter.com , is described as an enterprise Web 2.0 project scheduling application that optionally combines with Google Docs. Unlike some of the competing desktop project management software, Gantter runs off of a Web browser so there is no need of installation.

Google said the application can be used for a full range of projects from complex construction jobs to rolling out a new Web site or managing a big IT project. Gantter also comprises of a gallery of project templates designed to give users a head start on building a schedule.

Another new app is, Harvest, it is a simple time-tracking application designed to make it easier for freelancers and businesses to keep a track of their time. Harvest can be used on the Web, from within Gmail or on the iPhone.

Google said after installation and evaluation, Google Apps administrators can set up any of the Marketplace apps with a few mouse clicks.
