Today at the Google’s Campfire One event at the company’s headquarters in Mountain View the Internet search giant is launching its new app store for business, known as the Google Apps Marketplace.
We’re about to learn how Google Apps Marketplace works and, more importantly, which apps are going to be available at launch. If you go to here, you’ll see the store’s future splash page.
Here are some overview information about Google Apps Marketplace details:
- Note: you can watch the live stream of Google Campfire One on the Google Developers YouTube Channel.
- Vic Gundotra, Google’s Vice President of Engineering, has just started speaking
- Vic is talking about feedback it’s received from its business customers. Google believes that business apps should be run in the cloud. One problem: to use multiple business apps, you need to log into multiple websites, which can be messy and a security threat.
- Google Apps Marketplace announced.
- Details: $100 flat fee, no matter the amount of apps you launch. 20% revenue share. This is an important number, as most app stores charge 30% revenue share, especially Apple’s iPhone app store.
- Over 50 partners for Google Apps, including AviaryAviaryAviary, Expensify, Intuit, and others.
- Now Google is talking about the technical details of how to get your app added into the Google Apps interface.
- Google’s diving into secure data access via OAuth. Google’s clearly thought about how to make sure that information that apps need is received from users, but that apps don’t take more information than they need.
- Google has brought up a developer, Ryan, to demo some of the code to integrate his app with Google Apps Marketplace. It’s a “Hello World” type of app.
Everything will be available tonight for purchase.
