Google Pages Beta

[myotismon]

Well, I didn't know where to post this, so if its in the wrong place, sorry.

Google released a new beta this morning: Google Pages

It allows you to upload photos, and drag n drop items, a bunch of color schemes, and auto save and more.

However, I can't access any of it, the servers are very slow right now. I keep getting error messages saying that the page is locked by another user.

I'll post back as soon as I can make my own page.

But it looks like Google is one step closer to world domination...

Cool. Nice find.
This looks like it could be fun.

As of right now (10:10 CST), Google is taking a waiting list request for this service.

I figured they might do that, as soon as they got some people in.

That's why I threw up a junk test page right away.

(I hope I can get back in to edit it later.)

What I find surprising is, I signed in, then it said they're no longer accepting applicants, blah blah. Then it asked me to input my email address. It should have that filled straight away, as why am I going to want to include a different email than the one already in my Google Account It just seems like some pointless extra thing to do.

Cool. This looks like it could become very promising, especially now that Google has obtained a large registered user base with Gmail, Personalized Search and Google IG. At least it will give people a very nice alternative to Yahoo! Geocities (which I find horrible). I'm on the waiting list and will let you guys know what I think when I get in.

My problem: Google: Tie it all together! Why can't I get a page that ties together my Gmail, RSS (reader), Blogger, Page Creator, etc.? Why can't I see ALL of my Google services and their settings on one page. Sure, this is a start, but it looks like it was created in 30 seconds on Front Page and doesn't tie in all of my Google services.

Does anyone think or hope that Blogger will eventually become or the technology will be redone to become Google Page Creator? Google having two content creation systems (three if you count Google Base) can be very confusing for consumers.

I've been in class all day, and just was able to make a page: my page

It's basic, and not too in-depth, I may or may not add to it.

I do agree though, it needs to be all integrated.

At least the Gmail and Google Page thing. This way you can upload lots of things.

The Google Reader is annoying, I don't like it too much, but it does the job.

I don't use Blogger, I have my own blog on my own server, same with my website, but the integration will probably come.

I can see in the near future certain users doing everything from Google, and by the near future, I mean this time next year.

Does Google Pages support AdSense?

no problem.

i was actually wondering that too, cause id like to add some of my ads into it.

There is a way to edit html, so i dont see why one wouldnt be able to put the adsense code in.

Does anyone have a page created with Google Page Creator?
