Great, Google is at it again! Any samples of the websites this thing produces?
It's really just another take-off on what tripod, geocities, yahoo etc. have been doing for years so I don't think we should be all that worried as web designers. I'd like to know how this thing helps people make more "useful, attractive" and "high-quality" web pages when the others haven't been able to make that happen.

Agreed, the Google search pages aren't even standards compliant so it's doubtful this thing will be.
*sigh* I've been saying this for a few months now: Google is evil. Microsoft wannabies, and that's not a good thing.

Looks like there's no need to worry. Just in case you were.

Thanks for posting that, Tim. This does look like a new take on the old Geocities type accounts that everyone used to have. A good way for people to get started creating basic web pages, but no real threat to Professionals!
I am a little uneasy about google expanding into this kind of territory...
Wow, I remember the days when 25MB was lots! actually, I really fail to see how a site like that could take up anywhere near 100MB. That's lots of room for pictures and stuff.
(I actually had to reload that site in IE because I thought I was missing the stylesheet or something!!)

Lol! You actually probably were missing the stylesheet. But so is everyone else. Only because it's mirrored. Of course, SlashDot obliterated the original site.
