Google has released a Web 2.0 editor. Check it out. I would love to see when they use this engine on blogger.

It looks to be down... hmm. Big scoop? Got a cache of it somewhere?
#1 - Thu Feb 23, 2006 2:19 AM ESTI've been waiting for this, looks like I'll be up a few more hours playing with it haha.
#3 - Thu Feb 23, 2006 3:25 AM ESThmm actually it just looks like an overglorified blogger interface. However, they are hosting everything on their servers, which is noteworthy. I guess this would appeal to people who aren't that tech savvy or dont use a blog

#4 - Thu Feb 23, 2006 3:33 AM ESTDamn it, sorry, last post in a row, i promise. If you go into the page manager it shows you get 100mb of disk space. I wonder if they are any bandwith limits (sincerely doubt it). My initial impression is that this beats the hell out of other free web providers laden with ads and small disk space.

#5 - Thu Feb 23, 2006 3:38 AM ESTVery nice. I was able to get to the editor but it would not publish my page - I was getting 404 error. Also it looks like gmail may be down as well.
#10 - Thu Feb 23, 2006 7:49 AM ESTI like the fact that GooglePages, unlike Newsvine, doesn't have a user agreement that removes you of your moral and economic rights as an author, yet still allows you to post whatever you like!

#11 - Thu Feb 23, 2006 8:54 AM ESTIt's too simple, just like geocities ... But the idea counts ...

What about the spam vectors? Crawl every virtual hostname at googlepages, add "at gmail dot com" and you've got spam!
But, I am playing with it anyway. Can't beat the price...

#13 - Thu Feb 23, 2006 9:44 AM ESTI think it's a big improvement over geocities but it still sucks...
#14 - Thu Feb 23, 2006 9:44 AM ESTHmmmm... free load balancing:

#15 - Thu Feb 23, 2006 10:46 AM ESTLooks like a fantastic explosion of Powerpoint and Frontpage!
I won't be signing up just yet (I just don't have the time to play), but hey, the code (although not validating) looks tidy enough - at least they're trying.

#16 - Thu Feb 23, 2006 10:51 AM ESTIndeed, Jack Daniel has a great point. Do you at least have the option of specifying a sub-domain other than your GMail username?

#17 - Thu Feb 23, 2006 11:02 AM ESTIf given that option, you would be taking other people's usernames.

#18 - Thu Feb 23, 2006 11:18 AM ESTAn interesting point I was discussing earlier with zero303 - do you ever think google would give preference to their own users' pages in search results?
#19 - Thu Feb 23, 2006 12:44 PM ESTLooks like they've gone to limited sign-ups now. Hopefully it won't take them long to scale.
#20 - Thu Feb 23, 2006 2:01 PM ESTAt a quick glance at least it's decent code-wise. It's not a code soup of tables and trash code, so they get kudos for that much. Unfortunately, their CSS is loaded with hacks, most of which will break when IE 7 comes out, so they'll have some back pedaling to do to fix those hacks.
#21 - Thu Feb 23, 2006 2:42 PM ESTThat might explain why Gmail has been slow and inaccessible at times all day. I'm becoming very disappointed that Google is rolling products out too fast for their own capabilities... Same thing happened with Analytics.
