Prediction: Google Sites - Ning Killer?

1 pointsby ablalmost 17 years ago
Ok, so its a little early, but I am very excited about the potential of Google Sites. As I was researching various wiki solutions for a corporate project collab site, I ended up settling on Google sites as a hosted wikifarm solution. The presentation is in google's repertoire - clean, lacking features, but very promising. :)<p>After creating a few sample pages and looking for more information, I found the Google Sites blog:<p>http://googlesitesblog.blogspot.com/<p>Even though Google Sites has been out for a few months now, based on the very fresh blog entries and a spurt of activity, I have a feeling google is ramping this app up.<p>If you examine the list features, specifically the project tracking templates, it almost seems like they are going after Basecamp as well.<p>Now, consider the power of embedding google gadgets, and my prediction may not be very far off!<p>I just don't understand why google doesn't add massive features to its apps products, given that they have a whole army of developers...

The only area Google has really killed in is search, PPC and maybe a couple of other things. Everything else ranges from pretty good to horrible (but not killer.) Personally, I use Gmail more than any other Google service but I bet Gmail doesn't have the same dominance as their search does.<p>My opinion is certainly debatable, but the point is that Google does not automatically dominate every area they get into and some of their services are terrible.<p>Also, I am pretty sure Microsoft has tried the "whole army" thing with search and look at where that has got them.
