this could be still in beta. They can search your page and advertise or they just want people to sign up and see whats happens or people are interested.

Wow, no more new accounts already, eh? I just got mine this morning!

Does anyone know of any restrictions they have on uploading files? I've been trying to upload this 9 MB RAR and it keeps failing, however a 600 KB RAR I have uploads just fine.

And I'm okay with that.

My thinking is that google will slowly bleed all the competition out of business, and then be able to charge for things whether they need to or not.

Anyone figure out how to embed flash in the html in a particular box? I've got the coding correct so it comes up in my preview, but it won't publish.

they should set up a demo.. i'm sure lots of people are just going in there to see what it looks like but have little/no interest in actually using it. That would've kept the applications to people who really want it.
