Google have launched Google Page Creator, a free website creation tool.

Perhaps best described as Geocities for the 21st century, Page Creator takes the Google AJAX magic and applies it to website design. The process is simple, albeit, at this time, a little buggy.

In a fashion remarkably similar to Powerpoint, users can pick from a number of themes (or change them on the go) and text layouts. It makes use of a rather clever What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) editor, so users don't have to face the prospect of editing HTML (but the option exists). Best of all, in true ground breaking fashion, Google lets you have 100MB of space for free, and it doesn't even put ads on your homepage.

It's all very easy; of course, that's the idea. Google have identified an area of the web which has garnered little interest in the last few years. "Free" providers traditionally have provided a lack lustre offering designed to try and persuade people to go up to pay-for options. No longer. Google Pages sees the company delve into a natural but new field, and will no doubt be popular.

Google will own the world one day......the Earth will no longer be called Earth, it shall be henceforth referred to as "Google"

Very cool, but as I said before, I'm tired of there being a billion beta things and, how many final things? Just their search engine? Anything else?

Oops!
Google Page Creator is having a little trouble right now.
This is not because of anything you did; it's just a little hiccup in our system that will hopefully go away soon. We apologize for the inconvenience, and recommend you try reloading this page.

I wonder if pages created on Google are automatically indexed by its search engine.

Nice. It's a very simple solution for keeping an online notepad. I just exported my IE work favorites to an htm and linked it from a main page for use at home in about 2 minutes. That's kind of handy and I'd been meaning to do it for my actual site but hadn't gotten around to it.

Thanks google. :)
