These include Boston-based <a href="http://www.citizenschools.org/">Citizen Schools</a> and <a href="http://generatinggenius.org.uk/">Generating Genius</a> in the U.K., both of which work to help to expand the horizons of underprivileged youngsters. In total, our grants will provide enhanced STEM education for more than 3 million students.<br /><br />In addition, we're supporting girls’ education in the developing world. By giving a girl an education, you not only improve her opportunities, but those of her whole family. The <a href="http://www.africanleadershipacademy.org/">African Leadership Academy</a> provides merit scholarships to promising young women across the continent, and the <a href="http://afghaninstituteoflearning.org/">Afghan Institute of Learning</a> offers literacy classes to women and girls in rural Afghanistan. Groups like these will use our funds to educate more than 10,000 girls in developing countries.<br /><br /><b>Empowerment through technology</b><br /><br />We've all been wowed by the entrepreneurial spirit behind the 15 awards in this category, all of whom are using the web, open source programming and other technology platforms to connect communities and improve access to information. <a href="http://www.vittana.org/">Vittana</a>, for instance, helps lenders offer loans to students in the developing world who have have a 99 percent repayment rate—potentially doubling or tripling a recipient's earning power. <a href="http://codeforamerica.org/">Code for America</a> enables the web industry to share its skills with the public sector by developing projects that improve transparency and encourage civic engagement on a mass scale. And <a href="http://www.switchboardhealth.org/">Switchboard</a> is working with local mobile providers to help African health care workers create networks and communicate for free.<br /><br /><b>Fighting slavery and human trafficking</b><br /><br />Modern day slavery is a multi-billion dollar industry that ruins the lives of around 27 million people. So we're funding a number of groups that are working to tackle the problem. For instance, in India, <a href="http://www.ijm.org/">International Justice Mission (IJM)</a>, along with <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/trust/">The BBC World Service Trust</a>, <a href="http://www.actionaid.org/?intl=">Action Aid</a> and <a href="http://www.aide-et-action.org/english/">Aide et Action</a>, are forming a new coalition. It will work on the ground with governments to stop slave labor by identifying the ring masters, documenting abuse, freeing individuals and providing them with therapy as well as job training.

These include Boston-based <a href="http://www.citizenschools.org/">Citizen Schools</a> and <a href="http://generatinggenius.org.uk/">Generating Genius</a> in the U.K., both of which work to help to expand the horizons of underprivileged youngsters. In total, our grants will provide enhanced STEM education for more than 3 million students.<br /><br />In addition, we're supporting girls’ education in the developing world. By giving a girl an education, you not only improve her opportunities, but those of her whole family. The <a href="http://www.africanleadershipacademy.org/">African Leadership Academy</a> provides merit scholarships to promising young women across the continent, and the <a href="http://afghaninstituteoflearning.org/">Afghan Institute of Learning</a> offers literacy classes to women and girls in rural Afghanistan. Groups like these will use our funds to educate more than 10,000 girls in developing countries.<br /><br /><b>Empowerment through technology</b><br /><br />We've all been wowed by the entrepreneurial spirit behind the 15 awards in this category, all of whom are using the web, open source programming and other technology platforms to connect communities and improve access to information. <a href="http://www.vittana.org/">Vittana</a>, for instance, helps lenders offer loans to students in the developing world who have have a 99 percent repayment rate—potentially doubling or tripling a recipient's earning power. <a href="http://codeforamerica.org/">Code for America</a> enables the web industry to share its skills with the public sector by developing projects that improve transparency and encourage civic engagement on a mass scale. And <a href="http://www.switchboardhealth.org/">Switchboard</a> is working with local mobile providers to help African health care workers create networks and communicate for free.<br /><br /><b>Fighting slavery and human trafficking</b><br /><br />Modern day slavery is a multi-billion dollar industry that ruins the lives of around 27 million people. So we're funding a number of groups that are working to tackle the problem. For instance, in India, <a href="http://www.ijm.org/">International Justice Mission (IJM)</a>, along with <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/trust/">The BBC World Service Trust</a>, <a href="http://www.actionaid.org/?intl=">Action Aid</a> and <a href="http://www.aide-et-action.org/english/">Aide et Action</a>, are forming a new coalition. It will work on the ground with governments to stop slave labor by identifying the ring masters, documenting abuse, freeing individuals and providing them with therapy as well as job training. Our support will also help expand the reach of tools like the powerful <a href="http://slaveryfootprint.org/">Slavery Footprint calculator</a> and <a href="http://www.polarisproject.org/what-we-do/national-human-trafficking-hotline/the-nhtrc/our-services?gclid=COOuqfWGwqwCFYUbQgodbjytpg">Polaris Project’s National Trafficking Hotline</a>.<br /><br />To learn more about these organizations and how you can get involved, visit our <a href="//www.google.com/landing/givesback/2011/">Google Gives Back 2011 site</a> and take a look at this video:<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/BsNPmJ8QL58" width="560"></iframe><br /><br />These grants, which total $40 million, are only part of our annual philanthropic efforts.

Google presentations now lets you make great-looking slides with animated builds, advanced slide transitions and better support for drawings, tables and themes. Plus, we made it easier to create presentations with others, without the hassles of attachments. Your whole team can work together in the same version of a presentation at the same time, and you can see who’s doing what, chat with others, and see a full revision history at any moment in time. <br /> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEGobnLk4dOujSUEJ7RdwRkfVLrhlQ289poC8a_2kfHs3fWuMGmKA1ZnpNDuWdxfJnVFD-WqTuuGA2zBJ8Z2PwEIF0wPQQQSGPf_2DFoua1ICxQwzFtU7h6nUaSa-vloS092jBf5gJjA8/s1600/presentations.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEGobnLk4dOujSUEJ7RdwRkfVLrhlQ289poC8a_2kfHs3fWuMGmKA1ZnpNDuWdxfJnVFD-WqTuuGA2zBJ8Z2PwEIF0wPQQQSGPf_2DFoua1ICxQwzFtU7h6nUaSa-vloS092jBf5gJjA8/s320/presentations.png" width="320" /></a> <br /> <br /><b>Google Docs on Android tablets</b> <br />We’ve made it faster and easier to work with <a href="http://googledocs.blogspot.com/2011/10/enhanced-google-docs-experience-on.html">Google Docs on Android tablets</a> with a new version of the Android application that takes full advantage of larger screen real estate.

In Google Sites, now you can select “Chart” from the “Insert” menu, and navigate to the Google Spreadsheet where your chart or data is located. You can also choose to have your site’s chart update in real-time when someone updates the underlying spreadsheet. <br /> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYixTLH-Ovk97bV2UuQKbWkGF5CfwDHBJpMhxuyEBRAXpcN57xQnQC5pw461VPxtdlOdp9U-PblnSDkgIiIhfkJrZbU-SYxjA7pbCMI-hkXBBpNcCU6NVNV3Oj1nRc70-35bk9xrpziGc/s1600/charts+in+sites.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="152" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYixTLH-Ovk97bV2UuQKbWkGF5CfwDHBJpMhxuyEBRAXpcN57xQnQC5pw461VPxtdlOdp9U-PblnSDkgIiIhfkJrZbU-SYxjA7pbCMI-hkXBBpNcCU6NVNV3Oj1nRc70-35bk9xrpziGc/s320/charts+in+sites.png" width="320" /></a> <br /> <br /> <br /><b>New look for Google Docs and Sites</b> <br />We started rolling out a new look in Google Docs a couple months ago, and now this new design is available <a href="http://googledocs.blogspot.com/2011/10/experience-new-look-of-docs-and-sites.html">throughout all our collaboration tools</a>. In addition to a cleaner, simpler design, we’ve made it more clear when your files are being auto-saved and added new icons to help you see at-a-glance who your docs are shared with. You can also customize the overall “density” of screen information, a great feature if you want to fit more onto a smaller display. <br /> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpM29vcEzKQ4wyy2IoZ944lqXA5gakelT4EGqAEnvdEAgbtCpA77vyWj1tQcZ9iK1heLgMhuEvs8CKH8h4Cg1VE9Vchg82rXPnbrY2vWEb3WySm5OYZYYvkv-r83uzGXVFMdu53oMbgaU/s1600/new+look.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpM29vcEzKQ4wyy2IoZ944lqXA5gakelT4EGqAEnvdEAgbtCpA77vyWj1tQcZ9iK1heLgMhuEvs8CKH8h4Cg1VE9Vchg82rXPnbrY2vWEb3WySm5OYZYYvkv-r83uzGXVFMdu53oMbgaU/s400/new+look.png" width="400" /></a> <br /> <br /> <br /><b>Who’s gone Google?</b> <br />Successful small businesses tend to stay laser-focused on improving their core businesses, without getting distracted by peripheral activities that don’t make them more competitive. For example, most small businesses don’t want to spend time or money developing in-house expertise to run email and other IT systems. Case in point: <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2011/10/silicon-valley-has-gone-google.html">97 percent of Business Insider’s “Silicon Valley Startups to Watch” use Google Apps</a>. <br /> <br />More than 5,000 businesses and thousands of other organizations start using Google Apps every single day, and more of our customers have shared their stories recently so you can hear why.

Your whole team can work together in the same version of a presentation at the same time, and you can see who’s doing what, chat with others, and see a full revision history at any moment in time. <br /> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEGobnLk4dOujSUEJ7RdwRkfVLrhlQ289poC8a_2kfHs3fWuMGmKA1ZnpNDuWdxfJnVFD-WqTuuGA2zBJ8Z2PwEIF0wPQQQSGPf_2DFoua1ICxQwzFtU7h6nUaSa-vloS092jBf5gJjA8/s1600/presentations.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEGobnLk4dOujSUEJ7RdwRkfVLrhlQ289poC8a_2kfHs3fWuMGmKA1ZnpNDuWdxfJnVFD-WqTuuGA2zBJ8Z2PwEIF0wPQQQSGPf_2DFoua1ICxQwzFtU7h6nUaSa-vloS092jBf5gJjA8/s320/presentations.png" width="320" /></a> <br /> <br /><b>Google Docs on Android tablets</b> <br />We’ve made it faster and easier to work with <a href="http://googledocs.blogspot.com/2011/10/enhanced-google-docs-experience-on.html">Google Docs on Android tablets</a> with a new version of the Android application that takes full advantage of larger screen real estate. The three-panel view lets you browse filters and collections, see your document list and view file thumbnails and details simultaneously.

In Google Sites, now you can select “Chart” from the “Insert” menu, and navigate to the Google Spreadsheet where your chart or data is located. You can also choose to have your site’s chart update in real-time when someone updates the underlying spreadsheet. <br /> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYixTLH-Ovk97bV2UuQKbWkGF5CfwDHBJpMhxuyEBRAXpcN57xQnQC5pw461VPxtdlOdp9U-PblnSDkgIiIhfkJrZbU-SYxjA7pbCMI-hkXBBpNcCU6NVNV3Oj1nRc70-35bk9xrpziGc/s1600/charts+in+sites.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="152" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYixTLH-Ovk97bV2UuQKbWkGF5CfwDHBJpMhxuyEBRAXpcN57xQnQC5pw461VPxtdlOdp9U-PblnSDkgIiIhfkJrZbU-SYxjA7pbCMI-hkXBBpNcCU6NVNV3Oj1nRc70-35bk9xrpziGc/s320/charts+in+sites.png" width="320" /></a> <br /> <br /> <br /><b>New look for Google Docs and Sites</b> <br />We started rolling out a new look in Google Docs a couple months ago, and now this new design is available <a href="http://googledocs.blogspot.com/2011/10/experience-new-look-of-docs-and-sites.html">throughout all our collaboration tools</a>. In addition to a cleaner, simpler design, we’ve made it more clear when your files are being auto-saved and added new icons to help you see at-a-glance who your docs are shared with. You can also customize the overall “density” of screen information, a great feature if you want to fit more onto a smaller display. <br /> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpM29vcEzKQ4wyy2IoZ944lqXA5gakelT4EGqAEnvdEAgbtCpA77vyWj1tQcZ9iK1heLgMhuEvs8CKH8h4Cg1VE9Vchg82rXPnbrY2vWEb3WySm5OYZYYvkv-r83uzGXVFMdu53oMbgaU/s1600/new+look.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpM29vcEzKQ4wyy2IoZ944lqXA5gakelT4EGqAEnvdEAgbtCpA77vyWj1tQcZ9iK1heLgMhuEvs8CKH8h4Cg1VE9Vchg82rXPnbrY2vWEb3WySm5OYZYYvkv-r83uzGXVFMdu53oMbgaU/s400/new+look.png" width="400" /></a> <br /> <br /> <br /><b>Who’s gone Google?</b> <br />Successful small businesses tend to stay laser-focused on improving their core businesses, without getting distracted by peripheral activities that don’t make them more competitive. For example, most small businesses don’t want to spend time or money developing in-house expertise to run email and other IT systems. Case in point: <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2011/10/silicon-valley-has-gone-google.html">97 percent of Business Insider’s “Silicon Valley Startups to Watch” use Google Apps</a>. <br /> <br />More than 5,000 businesses and thousands of other organizations start using Google Apps every single day, and more of our customers have shared their stories recently so you can hear why. A warm welcome goes out to <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2011/09/google-apps-helps-philz-coffee-focus-on.html">Philz Coffee</a>, <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2011/10/google-apps-opens-door-to-savings-for.html">Mid-Atlantic Door Group</a>, <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2011/09/google-apps-helps-clients-and-attorneys.html">Bradford & Barthel, LLP</a> and the <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2011/09/city-of-mesquite-has-gone-google.html">City of Mesquite, Nevada</a>. <br /> <br />I hope these product updates and customer stories help you and your organization get even more from Google Apps.

This week, we’ll talk about another nonprofit, Grassroot Soccer who uses a different Google product - Google Sites - to host files for their organization.<br /><br />Also headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa, <a href="http://www.grassrootsoccer.org/">Grassroot Soccer</a> is a nonprofit organization that uses the power of soccer to educate, inspire, and mobilize communities to stop the spread of HIV. Located in approximately 15 countries, Grassroot Soccer uses Google Sites to allow its dispersed employees to access important organizational wide documents. But how exactly do they do this?<br /><br />The staff has created a number of sites to organize and share information. The organization is made up of various departments including Communications, Programs, Monitoring and Evaluation, and Curriculum & Development.

Under the Programs category, there is a site dedicated to one of GRS’s most popular program types called a Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) Tournament. Essentially these are large youth soccer tournaments where there is a testing center on site for youth and spectators to be tested for HIV. You can imagine how much planning goes into one of these events, and the VCT Google Site is a repository for all the key documents needed to put on this event.<br /><br />The programs team uses the <a href="//www.google.com/support/sites/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=90563">File Cabinet</a> feature of Google Sites to host all the document templates needed when running a VCT. Using a File Cabinet allows GRS to:<br /><ul><li><b>Create folders to categorize their documents for easier organization.</b> The File Cabinet holds everything from vendor contact lists, to letters to schools informing them of the tournament, to the surveys used for monitoring and evaluation at the event, being able to categorize these templates into folders makes them easier to find.</li><li><b>Allows them to add, delete, or move files within the cabinet.</b> The File Cabinet allows the easy ability of editing what’s included in the File Cabinet, by doing so directly in the site. Your changes are reflected on the site and anybody can subscribe to receive emails when a change is made to the cabinet. </li></ul>For more details on how GRS users the File Cabinet see the screenshot below:<div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; font-size: medium; "><div style="text-align: center;background-color: transparent; "><img height="300px;" id="internal-source-marker_0.29932851530611515" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/9EBgwNgczhn5wmRM_U2kSxQK5vQJAo_usAqXsRy62r5cpf73PXCcQ2vi3p4SX4vGxBSEf3bYMiGvZOAKplsD390JRlmT5R85iEFBStyGYqzmYgZZ1Bo" width="500px;" /></div></span><br />Google Sites, like Google Docs, can also store more than just documents, so if you want an eclectic range of file types together, it’s possible.

Let’s say for example, a GRS staff member in Zimbabwe is curious as to what letterhead to use to write an official document to the ministry of health, or they want to order business cards for themselves, they can check the “Brand Book” to access the most up-to-date templates for letterhead or business cards. Grassroot Soccer uses <b>Attachments</b> to simply attach the relevant documents to the bottom of the sites page.

Today, as the new year approaches on the Hebrew calendar, we’re celebrating the launch of the <a href="http://dss.collections.imj.org.il/">Dead Sea Scrolls online</a>; a project of <a href="http://www.english.imjnet.org.il/htmls/home.aspx">The Israel Museum, Jerusalem</a> powered by Google technology.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/5rYj_0foJYA" width="560"></iframe><br /><br />Written between the third and first centuries BCE, the Dead Sea Scrolls include the oldest known biblical manuscripts in existence. In 68 BCE, they were hidden in 11 caves in the Judean desert on the shores of the Dead Sea to protect them from the approaching Roman armies. They weren’t discovered again until 1947, when a Bedouin shepherd threw a rock in a cave and realized something was inside. Since 1965, the scrolls have been on exhibit at the Shrine of the Book at The Israel Museum, Jerusalem. Among other topics, the scrolls offer critical insights into life and religion in ancient Jerusalem, including the birth of Christianity.<br /><br />Now, anyone around the world can view, read and interact with five digitized <a href="http://dss.collections.imj.org.il/">Dead Sea Scrolls</a>. The high resolution photographs, taken by <a href="http://www.ardonbarhama.com/">Ardon Bar-Hama</a>, are up to 1,200 megapixels, almost 200 times more than the average consumer camera, so viewers can see even the most minute details in the parchment. For example, zoom in on the <a href="http://dss.collections.imj.org.il/temple?id=0">Temple Scroll</a> to get a feel for the animal skin it's written on—only one-tenth of a millimeter thick.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwBju36Jgi1tnaAd6tYKOYcFUydDuHZw8mGaDr_XvvgWvr519Dwp258EfBZJCMbf2t1wvF8pdhO64yQuynjSfO0Hlrs-697jhv4KjqQQq7FGkKLApaqHoeSgnMU8wwe_bqvKYttLhBKB8/s1600/1B5E11srf5Vj_S2yE4_luZPJi1maNrWg.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwBju36Jgi1tnaAd6tYKOYcFUydDuHZw8mGaDr_XvvgWvr519Dwp258EfBZJCMbf2t1wvF8pdhO64yQuynjSfO0Hlrs-697jhv4KjqQQq7FGkKLApaqHoeSgnMU8wwe_bqvKYttLhBKB8/" width="500" /></a></div><br />You can browse the <a href="http://dss.collections.imj.org.il/isaiah">Great Isaiah Scroll</a>, the most well known scroll and the one that can be found in most home bibles, by chapter and verse.

Today, as the new year approaches on the Hebrew calendar, we’re celebrating the launch of the <a href="http://dss.collections.imj.org.il/">Dead Sea Scrolls online</a>; a project of <a href="http://www.english.imjnet.org.il/htmls/home.aspx">The Israel Museum, Jerusalem</a> powered by Google technology.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/5rYj_0foJYA" width="560"></iframe><br /><br />Written between the third and first centuries BCE, the Dead Sea Scrolls include the oldest known biblical manuscripts in existence. In 68 BCE, they were hidden in 11 caves in the Judean desert on the shores of the Dead Sea to protect them from the approaching Roman armies. They weren’t discovered again until 1947, when a Bedouin shepherd threw a rock in a cave and realized something was inside. Since 1965, the scrolls have been on exhibit at the Shrine of the Book at The Israel Museum, Jerusalem. Among other topics, the scrolls offer critical insights into life and religion in ancient Jerusalem, including the birth of Christianity.<br /><br />Now, anyone around the world can view, read and interact with five digitized <a href="http://dss.collections.imj.org.il/">Dead Sea Scrolls</a>. The high resolution photographs, taken by <a href="http://www.ardonbarhama.com/">Ardon Bar-Hama</a>, are up to 1,200 megapixels, almost 200 times more than the average consumer camera, so viewers can see even the most minute details in the parchment. For example, zoom in on the <a href="http://dss.collections.imj.org.il/temple?id=0">Temple Scroll</a> to get a feel for the animal skin it's written on—only one-tenth of a millimeter thick.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwBju36Jgi1tnaAd6tYKOYcFUydDuHZw8mGaDr_XvvgWvr519Dwp258EfBZJCMbf2t1wvF8pdhO64yQuynjSfO0Hlrs-697jhv4KjqQQq7FGkKLApaqHoeSgnMU8wwe_bqvKYttLhBKB8/s1600/1B5E11srf5Vj_S2yE4_luZPJi1maNrWg.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwBju36Jgi1tnaAd6tYKOYcFUydDuHZw8mGaDr_XvvgWvr519Dwp258EfBZJCMbf2t1wvF8pdhO64yQuynjSfO0Hlrs-697jhv4KjqQQq7FGkKLApaqHoeSgnMU8wwe_bqvKYttLhBKB8/" width="500" /></a></div><br />You can browse the <a href="http://dss.collections.imj.org.il/isaiah">Great Isaiah Scroll</a>, the most well known scroll and the one that can be found in most home bibles, by chapter and verse.

In this spirit, we’ve recently made a series of improvements to make our applications more accessible to blind users. We have more work to do, but Google <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/improved-accessibility-for-google.html">Calendar</a>, <a href="http://googledocs.blogspot.com/2011/09/improved-accessibility-in-google-docs.html">Docs and Sites</a> now offer better support for screen readers and improved keyboard shortcuts. We hope these changes make our applications more useful to all users.<br /><br /><b>Who’s gone Google?</b><br />Organizations are moving to Google Apps for a diverse set of reasons—including cost savings, streamlined teamwork and better mobile access. We’ve even started hearing from schools and businesses who have made the switch to <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/gmail-its-cooler-in-cloud.html">reduce their impact on the environment</a>. No two organizations choose Google Apps for the exact same reasons, but in total, the momentum of Google Apps keeps growing.<br /><br />We recently shared the news that <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2011/09/tradition-meets-technology-top.html">61 of the top 100 universities</a> ranked by <i>U.S. News and World Report</i> have gone Google. On the business side, there are now more than <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2011/09/evolution-of-enterprise-software.html">4 million companies</a> using Google Apps, and businesses are joining at a rate of over 5,000 per day. In all, there are more than 40 million users that regularly use Google Apps in their organizations.<br /><br />I hope these product updates and customer stories help you and your organization get even more from Google Apps.

You can allow document comments from specific individuals or groups, from anyone belonging your organization or from the general public.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL5krTJYYDv5RZ5ug0qb75ew10r7BNvLV_4hx0IyzcBwfLaH33SpAsoYvAIMFtdz1Qffpt7YXUj86eMFYQcIsb2EIUmAJOhVaitqR3DPLqKkkTkB2S4xvACT7NxI3z73T4vlzBvd7ATXI/s1600/1hVy89XcsRbD0Wwc29W2sLs-ERmCVpMQ.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL5krTJYYDv5RZ5ug0qb75ew10r7BNvLV_4hx0IyzcBwfLaH33SpAsoYvAIMFtdz1Qffpt7YXUj86eMFYQcIsb2EIUmAJOhVaitqR3DPLqKkkTkB2S4xvACT7NxI3z73T4vlzBvd7ATXI/s400/1hVy89XcsRbD0Wwc29W2sLs-ERmCVpMQ.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><b>Format painter, Fusion Tables, drag & drop images and vertical cell merge</b><br />Comment-only access isn't all that we've added to Google Docs over the last few weeks. Other <a href="http://googledocs.blogspot.com/2011/09/this-week-in-docs-format-painter-google.html">notable improvements</a> include a text format painter in documents, which is a fast way to copy and paste font, size, color and other text styling. Spreadsheets now support vertically merged cells (in addition to horizontal merges). In drawings, you can drag images from your desktop to the drawing canvas, then continue editing your graphic. We also added Fusion Tables as a new document type in the documents list. <a href="//www.google.com/fusiontables/public/tour/index.html">Fusion Tables</a> are a powerful way to gather, visualize and collaborate on large data sets that might be unwieldy in a typical spreadsheet.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfzgBmOPq7YCiiLrYdVO6NQUuTVRkfp6dU4AlECuJGk9mEqjmc3v3xrQyBckaOGGcnDwsN2QeAc3sZbNo53vgpxQroGZkAEZjDr9KM9THkhYSMxBrcbzoZKaGkiZTcWPYvdAHIVozCvNU/s1600/1DpLVm02q3swWnVL4pOwsPkmnN9W9YAk.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfzgBmOPq7YCiiLrYdVO6NQUuTVRkfp6dU4AlECuJGk9mEqjmc3v3xrQyBckaOGGcnDwsN2QeAc3sZbNo53vgpxQroGZkAEZjDr9KM9THkhYSMxBrcbzoZKaGkiZTcWPYvdAHIVozCvNU/" width="500" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><i>Fusion Table data visualized on an interactive map</i></div><br /><br /><b>Accessibility improvements in Google Calendar, Docs and Sites</b><br />We think technology can do a better job getting out of people’s way and helping you be more productive with less complexity and fewer frustrations. In this spirit, we’ve recently made a series of improvements to make our applications more accessible to blind users. We have more work to do, but Google <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/improved-accessibility-for-google.html">Calendar</a>, <a href="http://googledocs.blogspot.com/2011/09/improved-accessibility-in-google-docs.html">Docs and Sites</a> now offer better support for screen readers and improved keyboard shortcuts. We hope these changes make our applications more useful to all users.<br /><br /><b>Who’s gone Google?</b><br />Organizations are moving to Google Apps for a diverse set of reasons—including cost savings, streamlined teamwork and better mobile access. We’ve even started hearing from schools and businesses who have made the switch to <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/gmail-its-cooler-in-cloud.html">reduce their impact on the environment</a>. No two organizations choose Google Apps for the exact same reasons, but in total, the momentum of Google Apps keeps growing.<br /><br />We recently shared the news that <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2011/09/tradition-meets-technology-top.html">61 of the top 100 universities</a> ranked by <i>U.S. News and World Report</i> have gone Google. On the business side, there are now more than <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2011/09/evolution-of-enterprise-software.html">4 million companies</a> using Google Apps, and businesses are joining at a rate of over 5,000 per day. In all, there are more than 40 million users that regularly use Google Apps in their organizations.<br /><br />I hope these product updates and customer stories help you and your organization get even more from Google Apps.
