accoring to the docs the urls will be
http://sites.google.com/site/sites/SITENAME

isn't that redundant x3 ?

Once you create a site you find that the URL is really
http://sites.google.com/site/SITENAME/

Which is only redundant X2

At some point im sure they will allow you to attach these sites to a domain ...

not too impressed with the page editor, basically a rich text editor on a web page, wow... check out the page editor at http://pikiwiki.com ... alot more flexible. Also pikipages app on Facebook allows you to make more interesting web pages than Google Sites.

But hey, whatever happened to Google Pages? It seems like it just died! I can't find it on Google's service list anymore, although I can access it at pages.google.com. The new service is better.

Top 10 news stories of the decade

Let the debate begin: Was the iPhone more important than iTunes? Was anything bigger than Google finding a great business model? CNET offers its list of the 10 most important stories of the '00s.

About The Social

CNET News' Caroline McCarthy is a downtown Manhattanite who believes that, despite popular opinion, the Web can actually help your social life. She's happily addicted to fun social-media tools from Twitter to Yelp to Facebook, sends an inordinate number of text messages, and has a tendency to waste time at the office reading restaurant blogs. Here, she explores all facets of the Web's gregarious side, as well as the unique tech culture in her home city of New York. (Don't call it Silicon Alley.)
