The last way to put Twitter to good use is following yours truly   Start following B.E.T.A. Daily and my updates on Twitter.

So much so that Dennis has betted $500 on his take and has offered to put the amount in escrow.

Now this is going to be interesting.  Scoble is pushing his claim on two factors cost and environment (Google email servers consume less electricity) whereas Dennis has counter attacked with aspects like Google’s reliability and privacy issues, emails integration with business process applications like SAP and a possible emergence of alternative to email.

Here are my two cents; if Google has to really make a dent in the Microsoft’s business apps market, it will need to:

• Improve reliability and release bug-free products.  Enterprises don’t like that ‘Beta’ tag
• Provide advertisement free products and resolve the privacy issues
• Build a robust customer support system which is non-existent at the moment
• Partner with business process application providers like SAP, PeopleSoft etc to integrate Google Apps

If Google can do this in the next five years, Scoble can win otherwise congrats Dennis
