Three Seattle Companies Now In Google App Race

Three local Seattle companies--Concur Breeze, Gist, and Smartsheet--said today they're competing to see who has the most number of user growth in their software on Google's App Marketplace, with the winner getting a round of beers, $500 donated to their favorite charity, and one year of premium service. All three have applications in Google's new App Marketplace, which was launched at the end of May, and said they're in a "Seattle tech cage-match" to see who does better in the marketplace. The contest started out as Gist versus Smartsheet, but Concur said it would jump in despite being a couple of weeks behind in the contest.
