Google launches site creation tool
Google has unveiled a website creation application, providing a series of simple, intuitive tools.
Requiring no hardware or software to buy or install, Google Sites is based on wiki technology developed by JotSpot, an acquisition of Google’s in 2006.
The company said: "With Google Sites, people can quickly gather a variety of information in one place — including videos, calendars, presentations, attachments, and text — and easily share it for viewing or editing with a small group, their entire organization, or the world."
And according to Information Week, Matthew Glotzback, product management director of Google’s enterprise group, added: "We see Google Sites as bigger than a wiki.
"It’s as easy to edit as a wiki, but looks as good as a Web site."
The application looks to enable teams within an organization to build websites in order to collaborate on projects – with little HTML or web design experience needed in order to do so.
