Google Sites

The following announcement landed in my in-box today:

Today, we’re excited to announce the introduction of Google Sites as part of Google Apps.

Google Sites makes creating a team web site as easy as editing a document. You can quickly gather a variety of information in one place — including videos, calendars, presentations, attachments, and gadgets — and easily share it for viewing or editing with a small group, your entire organization, or the world.

  • Share from one place — Create a single place to bring together all the information your team needs to share, including docs, videos, photos, calendars and attachments.

  • Work together — Invite co-workers, classmates, or your entire organization to edit your site with you to keep it fresh and up-to-date. And let as many or few people view your site as you want.

There are a few pre-made examples:

So far I’m rather apathetic towards it, but only because I can do everything it offers by hand. If I couldn’t, I’d be all ooh ahh.

I heavily promote the WP and Google Apps combo to my clients, so I’ll very interested to see how this project takes on Microsoft’s Sharepoint.
