SaaS - AppExpress
I hope this is the first of many Software as a Service offerings via AppExpress.
I recall an episode 3-4 years ago when I bought Norton Professional as a download and it took 8 hours to download and 6 to install after it had downloaded. Fair enough I was on dial-up at the time and AppExpress needs broadband, but I contacted Endeavors and asked if and when AppExpress would be made available on a broader market for the general market 'Joe public' to use on a daily basis. I was told that was not what it's market was - they were an Enterprise company. My opinion at the time was - If you ever want big business to adopt something - Give it to the public and they will create the demand. Big business follows the little man on technology not the other way around.
Well due to a Tadpole Shareholder, 'Joe Public' are now going to get the chance to try it's wares and they will be the judges. Once it starts getting talked about by real people in the real world a product has made it, in my opinion.
Philip Voice a former landscape gardener and an investor in Tadpole Technology the parent company for Endeavors Technologies product AppExpress writes a blog about gardening and it was due to this that he had the idea of trying to get a lead to the company at a time when it desperately needed some help and the result is a sale that will see one of the largest communities in the world trying out AppExpress - GARDENERS!
