google apps for a domain

signed up to this yesterday during a bored period. the suite is v basic at the moment, email/calendering/google talk and thats about it. but it did get me thinking.

Could a start up really reduce its start up costs using stuff like this?

no need for a mailserver, change your mx record so that you use gmail, use google docs and spreadsheets.

what about other communication mediums? don't want to pay for a phone system? use skypein/skypeout, costs money, but not much and the bonus is, you phone system goes where you go (as long as there is inet access).

For a micro isv or startup these tools do offer as near to zero cost as you could hope to get.
