Google Competitive Environment Survey

Dear Colleague,

This is the third in our series of three questionnaires about
software developers/publishers (ISVs) and Google's many facets.

We are looking to see how ISVs are working with/reacting to Google in
the Internet and software environments.

The first survey focused on the use of Google for promotion (such as
AdWords), and the second asked about how ISVs take advantage of
Google tools and APIs to provide commercial or non-commercial
software or services. In this, the final survey, we are asking about
Google and its potential or actual competition to your software
business. Because of the interest in this topic, we will be
conducting a fourth survey that looks more deeply into the AdWords
system. We're also going to be developing several articles on how
best to understand and maximize your Ad Word' investments.

We hope you will be able to help us with this ground-breaking survey
by responding today.

Everyone who supplies data for this survey will receive a
complimentary copy of the initial results. Of course, all responses
will be strictly confidential. We won't disclose or identify data
about any individuals or about participating companies.

Please be sure to answer all the questions; otherwise we can't send
you a copy of the results.

The survey is at http://softletter.com/pages/google3.htm

Survey results will appear in our September 30th issue.

Please pass this along to a colleague in the industry who would want
to participate.

Many thanks for your help!
