The addons are just google stuff like calendar group talk with your @you.com not gmail.com
Curiosly a google apps offers more to nongdomain users than users
The above snapshot shows no picasa etc and to get it you need to open a google accnt with your @you.com address then use that address to open picasa accnt.
why doesnt google include ALL apps in fyd?
why not?
i got inglesgarantizado.com for 10$ with built in calendar talk web page mail but then needed to open a google accnt same email though to get picasa groups and other great apps.

This is one way this is working for my mother in law
She takes a huge amount of photo’s.
She went on holiday for 6 weeks and took 2,500 photos.
She would email them to everyone to see.
So I brought her a domain name using her name through Godaddy.
Set up an email account now with imap, now so she can get her mail either at home or on her laptop.
You get the benefits of gmail’s very good spam filtering
I set up Picasa2 for her to store all her photo’s,
I have forwarded the web address to Picasa2
Now she just sends us a email when she updates her photo’s, This stops her clogging up the tubes on the internet with photos someones boring wedding.
All this cost me was $18 for 2 years for the domain name.
For the cost your not paying any support, and I have yet to hit a snag with this service .
The other thing you look a bit more professional, if you send and email to people, yourname@my.com looks better than joebob61642@hotmail.com

I have set it up for a few people(low to average IT skills), and emphasise that their website and email addresses are in the control of whoever manages their hosting. With this tool, they can give out email addresses to their staff, family and friends. Edit their own webpages, and take control of how they want their site to look.

Granted, the page editor is limited to templates, but the templates look great, and give the users the freedom to play, while still keeping it rigid enough to mean that they don’t make an absolute mess.

The potential for the person to up-sell to a ‘real’ hosting account is increased due to the fact that they build up the tenacity to edit their own pages (and may even buy dreamweaver and make their own), but reduced because hosting companies charge a fortune in comparison.

I would even suggest registering a domain name, and linking it to a GFYD account and having a play before using it on a production site.
