One moan I hear quite frequently is the SF pricing structure.

I worked on an SEO project with a large Real Estate company and while I though it fine that anyone in Real Estate pays up I find for small business (I mean small) the cost is a little prohibitive.

I’d love a SF account but can’t really justify it – funny really two of my better clients are just around the corner from SF in SF if you get my meaning. Like 6 blocks and next to looksmart….

This would definitely be interesting. Google has to find a way to get into the traditional business market if they want to fully catch up with MSFT.

Although I’m not too familiar with them, a little Googling tells me that any kind of deal with salesforce.com to share or provide resources would help Google immensely.

PS. I really have to get a WSJ subscription and account.

Saw this one coming in 05. Smart move. I have used Salesforce in the past (through a client) and found it a little difficult in so far as the “learning curve” but nevertheless it was the best.

G and SF have been ‘chummy” for a while.

This will be interesting….
