Salesforce has announced the general availability of Dreamforce event. With it, companies can build and run any website on Salesforce's cloud platform Force.com, the same platform that runs the company's sales and service apps.

- A Future Leaders teacher recruitment site
- A NJ Transit group ticket sales site

Force.com walks users through the process of setting up a database, building out workflow rules - email alerts and approval processes. Pages are coded with RUI framework and standard web technologies like HTML, Flash, javascript and CSS. Users can configure their sites with their own domain name or get one from Salesforce. RSS feeds are also available for enabling.
The company says that since users' sites are run on their cloud infrastructure, they are more secure, and more reliable. They say users don't have to worry about hardware, a software stack, back ups, performance tuning, security, or upgrades.
