So it's basically Jotspot being re-released? It looks very similar to Jotspot, but it seems to be lacking the vast majority of what made Jotspot so powerful (all the wiki stuff and modules).

This simplified web page making is kinda cool actually... I'd like a review on this later. I have a blog on blogger and it'd be nice to be able to have other pages with no html required.

the main problem with this kind of free website hosting is that they never reveal the max (guaranteed) monthly bandwidth

How can this be a re-release of Jotspot? It doesn't have any of the modules or functionality that actually made Jotspot useful. This is just a "mom and pop" website creator.
I've been using Google APS for 6 months now at my work place, and everyone loves them!
I've checked out this Google Sites builder though, and was turned off by it's extreme oversimplification. Not for me.

Never liked Basecamp. I use Wrike. Google sites look ok to me, might be useful for some stuff.

The part about not being able to use a good domain name is no biggie, just go to shorturl dot com or similar service for a good redirect.
The problem is, there is no way to FTP, so you are forced to use the lame tools they provide which look like everything else they put out. Google should sub out some of their creative to Adobe and capitalize even more.

Using it for informal sharing and collaboration between a group of specialists inside and outside my company. Great that anyone can collaborate and short-circuits corporate IT.
My problem is access rights. Only Owner, Collaborator or Visitor (read only). I don't want all my collaborators to be able to reorganise the site. I need at least a 4th group who can post a comment but nothing more.
This is a major weakness, I think. Even for family use, grandma could accidently delete the family photos. Who wants a forum where anyone can delete threads or edit other people's posts?
Couple of limitations in Google Sites: 1) Attachments are limited to 10 MB. That way too low by current standards. Some of the PPT I create are larger then that. But then I could upload the PPT to Google Docs...... 2) No support for Flash/Shockwave. That is just silly.

Let's see where Google Sites goes, who knows, it will probably improve some day. Everybody has a website or a myspace online these days, but not every business knows how to market online or optimize for Google. Visit SiteFactor.com for more.
