Salesforce deepens data sharing partnership with Google
Last Fall at Dreamforce, Salesforce announced a deepening friendship with Google .

This particular data sharing partnership makes even more sense as the companies can share web analytics data with marketing personnel to deliver ever more customized experiences for users (or so the argument goes, right?).
