Well Merry Christmas to you too Greg and Google. Have you guys even stopped to consider the effects eliminating the small standard app will have on small business? I for one do not know if I can survive. I make my living on helping very small business's get efficient on the web. And part of that was introducing those small clients to Google Apps Standard and Google Adwords. I was literally in the process of setting up 2 brand new clients when this hit. I just cashed their checks on Tuesday. Now I am going to have to give them their money back. Right before Christmas. And when I say small clients I am talking about 4 or 5 people.
If you even would have given us some notice, we might have managed it. How many of us small, one and two and three man shops have supported Google over the years? Thanks a lot. Merry Christmas.
