Google Sites Beta

After almost a year errr.. millennium in Internet speed, Google has finally unveiled what my beloved Jotspot has evolved to.

Welcome to Google Sites, One stop for team information, a nice and friendly headline but does it compare as well? It is hard to say how good it is during my short trial of the service since I absolutely loved Jotspot.

Google Sites seems to be a very easy system to use though it does lack a lot of the "advanced" features which I like about Jotspot. Ok, Jotspot was more complex and was the system I was weaned on so I’m really lazy to learn a new one.

Is Google Sites a good thing? For a free app, you bet! Though it still needs to be seen how good this is compared to the real enterprise apps such as Lotus or Sharepoint. As a free entry to this space, Google Sites does have a lot going for it with the Google branding.

It seems that you need to be an administrator of your domain before you can sign up for Google Sites Beta. That’s 1 strike against Google apps then since most folks do not own or control their own domains. Let’s hope this changes in the near future.

After all, Google Site is in beta
