Google has just announced that “Google Apps for Business” are (is?) being renamed “Google Apps for Work“. And as someone who does a lot of work with the nonprofit and government sectors, I’m giving that branding a thumbs-up.
That said, it would make me happy to think that there were at least a few days when “Google Apps for Getting Shit Done” was a real contender.

Hey, there’s this thing where you tell jokes instead of drawing them. I believe the kids call it the standing-up comedy.
And I’m going to be doing it on Wednesday, October 15th at 7:00 pm, at the La Fontana Caffe. There’s no cover charge, and the venue (on Hastings Street at Boundary) gets a lot of love on Yelp. Come on down! More details here.

That is what the email said from Google, but the article/blog they link title is “Introducing Google for Work (the artist formerly known as Enterprise)” and doesn’t include “for business” in the article. If only they used your whiteboard!

There’s definitely some ambiguity there — maybe there were some duelling whiteboards at that brainstorming session! :) — but when I go to apps.google.com, I’m redirected to http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/ which is titled “Google Apps for Work.”
