And it's working. Now google pages shouldn't be in the same line as Live. Live is all about collaboration, not just web presence. Not to mention that live offers free domains, emails etc even on the free version; while google offers username.googlepages.com. But I must admit what Google has done in terms of their simple interface, and client side scripts is quite impressive. But like all other Google Labs products it will soon be forgotten. What happened to Google Suggest? It's been in the lab since December 2004, why isn't it the standard version yet? Laith,

The only thing thats new here is that Google is doing it, and we should stop tryign to find reasons to cheer when Google does something which has been done before. they've done alot of things worth applauding, but not this. I look at this as simply a result of the fact that they had to offer free hosting in order to compete with MS Live. And they thought, Hmm... let's do it in AJAX so that we can say we did something new. What would be really new is having a web based IDE for all web development technologies including .Net, and if it happens to use AJAX, then that would be cool. And for the record: I love Google :) Free hosting services are not new, Online page builders are not new, and I dont think that making them use AJAX is really something worth applauding.

We've seen thousands of inpage html editors, and there templates look like blogger which aren't the best templates I've seen. Bakka, I don’t think they’ve introduced anything new with page creator.
