Google just launched a new web hosting/website creator. http://pages.google.com

My test page: http://krod77.googlepages.com/home

Krod!!

Google Page Creator is having a little trouble right now.
This is not because of anything you did; it's just a little hiccup in our system that will hopefully go away soon. We apologize for the inconvenience, and recommend you try reloading this page.

Its working fine for me, it was just slashdotted, so they could have received lots of unexpected traffic.

Thank you for your interest in Google Page Creator! Google Page Creator has experienced extremely strong demand, and, as a result, we have temporarily limited the number of new signups as we increase capacity. In the meantime, please submit your email address and we will notify you as soon as we are ready to add new accounts. Thank you for your patience.

nice this thing with google pages, i want to try it too, but it said something about limited accounts. Is there any invitation for Google Pages ? (like Gmail)

Maybe it's just closed beta, and they don't make new accounts anymore. Google Pages is using the accounts of the gmail users. So if you got a gmail account, you can create a google page too.

I tried to get an account through my phone, but they don't sms to USCelluar phones. And I wanted to try the new page builder.

Heh nice :-)

google pages owns

I'm not much of a google pages fan, I found the fact that you couldn't replace the index and go 0 scripting ability made it instantly garbage.

2 things I hate about these google pages:
-you can only use IE or Firefox ,this is sikening ,this is advertise for both of these browsers ,I hate this about goolge in general
-you have a nice gui and there you build your site with few options ,in other words you can do the same things there ,as with an office program

This is what I hate about these 'modern' times ,programers and coders make stuff for noobs ,and more and more people start using things ,they don`t even know how they work ,this is windows concept ,to make everything 'visual' ,and most people are scared of the darkness of the command line.Google pagemaker serves this concept ,but let`s face it ,wha`t use does a webhosting have to webmasters ,where all they can do is make a few simple template sites?nothing ,so use the source...

lol, advertisement?
It's not easy getting something like that to work for all browsers since essentially they're all different.

So what if noobs use them? That's their loss, and besides - most people who use 'shortcut software' aren't too bothered to make something in the first place.
