Salesforce Mobile for iPhone is Ready!
Jon Mountjoy has posted a report that the AppStore for iPhone 2.0 software is available. Makes our mouths water even more for that iPhone 3G. More info: http://blog.sforce.com/sforce/2008/07/salesforce-mobi.html.
The Original Post

After doing some research, I found the first post to show how to include custom fields on standard objects using Eclipse and the Force.com IDE. It turns out that JonP was the original poster, as noted by many others, but he first wrote about it on February 22.
Thanks, JonP!
WordPress, Akismet, and Web-to-Salesforce

We use WordPress to run our blog, which we host on a shared server, and we use Akismet to check comments for spam (though the only comments I’ve seen on this blog have been my test comments).
Scott Hemmeter posted a blog entry about using Akismet and PHP to check Web-to-Lead submissions for spam. We are going to start an experiment using Akismet in the following scenarios:
- Web-to-Lead with Google AdWords enabled
- Web-to-Case
Sound good? We’ll keep everyone up to speed.
AppExchange Makeover
· Leave a CommentFiled under: Native Application, New Features, salesforce.com
Looks like Salesforce has changed its user-interface again. Remember the Apps menu with the AppExchange link that opened the AppExchange in a new tab? That’s been changed.
OLD:
AppExchange Logo and Apps menu with “Add Apps…” at the bottom of the menu
NEW:
force.com Apps Logo and Apps menu with
- a space
- Add AppExchange Apps
- Create New Apps
The last item, Create New Apps, takes you to developer.force.com.
Salesforce is clearly pushing the Platform, encouraging people to create their own apps. Looks like I’m going to spend the next few days going through every tutorial I can find, starting with how to code in Java. I’m heading to Sydney, Australia on Friday, so I’ll have plenty of reading to do on the plane. Problem is this: 4 hours of batteries on a 12 hour flight doesn’t really help much, does it? Oh well.
