I’ve been using the Google Apps for this current domain and I love it! I’m a big fan of these services. I wish there were some improvements or changes, but overall, I’m quite happy with Google’s offering. I’m also looking forward to seeing their web-based presentation application coming out soon too.

Anyway, I was on the Google Apps page and just clicking around and reading up on their services. I know, it’s a geeky thing to do, but it’s what I do. I then started to type in random domains to see which domains might have signed up to use Google Apps. I typed in utoronto.ca and I got the message that this particular domain was already registered! Now, I know that someone might have just tried signing up with the utoronto.ca domain and it was declined or something like that, but there is a chance that U of T might be thinking of implementing or testing the Education Edition of Google Apps. This is good news to me because I still use my school email quite extensively. The current webclient that U of T uses is absolutely atrocious. I would like to see students have access to Google’s slick suite of services offered through the school. I think U of T would be the largest Canadian institution to implement Google App campus-wide if they do indeed offer this.
