Google Sites First Impression

I played around with Google Sites this evening really fast. I am a long time user of JotSpot and actually talked on the phone with the JotSpot development team when they first launched the tool. I exchanged a couple of emails with Joe Kraus as well. That was pretty cool.

While the tool is not JotSpot, it is a neat little wiki tool and I think it will become quiet popular quite quick. I recently had been using Zoho's wiki solution to manage a fairly complex project and so I just did a cut and paste of a couple of pages for comparison. Both are fairly quick and have easy editing. I am really enjoying the ease of use that Zoho has. Google sites seemed more responsive then my JotSpot site, I am guessing this is the Google Backend upgrade. It may also be due to the stripped down version of the application. There are many things that have been removed from the application since it was JotSpot.

The biggest thing that I hope they add back is the ability to have a blog within the wiki. Zoho doesn't offer this feature and I didn't see it in Google Sites. It is a great tool for an internal blog. The Zoho wiki has a 10mg limit on attachments. This is a significant barrier that causes you to come up with an alternative location to house your attachments and causes the need for another service. I haven't seen this limitation on Google Sites.

Another issue that surfaced quickly was when I tried to past an embed script from SlideShare, Google Sites stripped some of the code citing that it was unsafe. Zoho, on the other hand as an Embed HTML feature that allows me to easily embed SlideShare presentations.

So for the moment I will stay with Zoho, but continue to experiment with Google. I am really not sure I see a clear winner at this point.

  1. Lee, can you password-protect portions of Google Sites? I'm looking for a wiki tool to share on-campus docs with off-campus folks and am thinking there's got to be a more user-friendly way to do it than a web page. I'm looking for something so simple that tech-terrified folks can "click, click" and upload their own documents. Should I take a look at Google Sites?

    Also, related to Joe Kraus?

  2. The permissions for Google Sites seem to be at the "site" level and apply to all pages. Zoho has permission settings for each page. Google might have it, but I don't see it anywhere.

    Interestingly, I have a real Uncle Joe Kraus, but I don't think he has ever worked for Google :)

    Today, the Microsoft-owned in-game ad agency said that it has signed an exclusive multiyear agreement with Blizzard. Azerothians opposed to seeing in-game ads in their localworld of warcft goldwatering holes need not worry, however, because the deal is limited to Blizzard's Web sites and Battle.net,the game maker's online-gaming hub.
