Last week I met up with Appirio founder, Narinder Singh in order to get a look at some of the company's cool integrations between Salesforce and Google Gadgets. Narinder gave me a live demo of the Google/Salesforce integration at Dreamforce, check out the video below:

Based on the success of the early gadgets, Appirio created the Gallery to extend the value of connecting Salesforce.com and Google. To launch the initiative, Appirio has committed to populate the gallery with 100 gadgets in 100 days - dating from the June 5 Google-Salesforce.com announcement, to the beginning of Dreamforce, Salesforce.com’s annual user conference. Jason Maynard, lead software analyst at Credit Suisse, applauded Appirio’s move: "Appirio is a pioneer in integrating enterprise software-as-a-service solutions such as Salesforce.com and Google Apps. The integration they first demonstrated at the Google-Salesforce.com announcement was one of the major highlights of that event. Their new Gadget Gallery will accelerate Salesforce.com user adoption, and will pique the interest of other leading SaaS ISVs looking to bring critical business data to the Google Homepage."
