I came across a blog called CRM FYI 
as I was going through the Incoming Links on my WordPress Dashboard.
It’s written by Jeff Grosse out of St. Paul, MN. The tag line is “Good to know news, views, and stuff you can use about Salesforce.com“. It is well put together and has had some good posts already.
Welcome, Jeff!
The Google Enterprise Blog has a post announcing that they will be presenting on mashing up Google Apps (Gmail, Calendar, Docs & Spreadsheets) with Salesforce.com at the upcoming May 21 Developer Conference.
This should be pretty interesting for those interested in mashups. Google Apps is a very popular service for hosting your domain’s mail & calendar. It also includes a start page (which barely works) and access to Docs & Spreadsheets through your domain account. More services should be added in the future and the APIs will only get more comprehensive.
Google’s post can be found here.
Mike Simonds created a blog with a Salesforce category to it. He just got it started and has written part 1 in a series of PHP Toolkit Tutorials.
This first example focuses on querying an Oracle database and pushing data to Salesforce.com using the upsert method.
If you are interested in the PHP toolkit (which is my preferred toolkit), it’s worth a read.

There’s a new home for all of the formalized Salesforce.com User Groups that are out there. Visit http://usergroups.salesforce.com/ or click on the MEET Users Near You link on the Community page.
The user groups used to be located as Dreamforce blogs, but have since been moved to this new location. The old URLs are being routed to the new, so you shouldn’t be missing any posts in the blogs. However, it’s probably a good idea to update your RSS readers with the new location.

Steve over at gokubi.com has been doing a lot with Apex Code recently. He has a clever post about writing Apex code triggers and having them run on a schedule. It’s a good post to get the wheels turning with regards to what you can now do on the platform.
Nice work, Steve.
