Google quietly unveils online Web site creator

Google Page Creator. And everyone with Gmail can signup for an account. So far it looks pretty good. Here’s a quick rundown.

pros:

  • Lets you edit your own html
  • Good for being spidered in Google search engine
  • Good for hosting your images for free without worrying about size
  • Reliability – Google also owns and maintains blogger – which is generally a very reliable blog hosting service, so you won’t have to worry about downtime

cons:

  • By default, your Gmail username becomes your subdomain name (bad for you, good for spammers)
  • No support for Safari, although that’s likely to change soon
  • Everybody and their brother will have a crappy Web site and will again pretend to be Web developers – a la 1997 Geocities accounts. But, this can be good for people who need a free host and can provide good content or services

Here are some notes from Google, as well as their terms of service as related to ads:
