Life online, why would I use of Google Page Creator
I'm not actually sure how I could use this 'beta' release from Google. In a nutshell it allows me to easily create web pages and publish them - doesn't do a whole web site (yet).
Have to think about this and how I would use it. With the ability to publish my Writely 'documents' and this blog I'm not actually sure I need another tool to stick content on-line. Maybe it's an attempt to generate a community a la MySpace and/or to pick up some of the smaller businesses that want a web presence without all the rigmarole of a multi-million CMS project.
So why mention it? Well, I signed up and they've just sent me the "you're in the gang, aren't you special!" email :-)
In the meantime here's what Google say about it:
