  • MagCloud for publishing a magazine – you upload a pdf, and they handle subscriptions, printing, and the rest.
  • Lulu for printing your own book
  • Feed Journal for taking a blog feed and turning it into a newspaper

Anyway, I find it interesting. Pretty cheap too.

“It used to be that you used enterprise technology because you wanted uptime, security, and speed,” said Douglas Merrill, CIO of Google (Nasdaq: GOOG). “None of those things are as good in enterprise software anymore [as they are in some consumer software].” Some 15 years ago, enterprise technology was higher quality than consumer technology, he added. “That’s not true anymore.”

What higher-quality consumer technology would you like seen implemented in the enterprise?
