Gmail Watch blog

Gmail - Googles new kid is in beta stage and I am using it actively; my main aim is to trace it development (feature and evolution) and see if I can get some bugs (if any), news, and other information related to Gmail and Google.

Google Page Creator beta online launched

Google dropped yet another bomb by introducing its new service called Google Page Creator. Google testing a new product that makes creating your own web pages as easy as creating a document in a word processor. Google Page Creator is a free tool that lets you create web pages right in your browser and publish them to the web with one click. There's no software to download and no web designer to hire. The pages you create are hosted on Google servers and are available at http://yourgmailusername.googlepages.com for the world to see.

Here is sample page I had created using this tool. It offers 100MB disk space.

I think this is the first step towards Google hosting. However, it failed to impress me. Since it is in beta, you cannot complain about it.



 

Google Current

According to Google Google current is, "Current TV is a new cable and satellite channel available throughout the U.S. Through a partnership, we provide access to Google Zeitgeist information - up to the minute aggregated search query results - for the Current staff to use in creating new TV stories. The resulting program, "Google Current," airs every half hour on Current TV and
provides a look at what the world is searching for on Google. From hybrid cars to human-animal hybrids, from Paris riots to Paris Hilton photos, your searches guide Current stories.
"

Check it out Google current.

It is here. This special beta test lets you give Gmail, Google's webmail service, to every user at your domain. Gmail for your domain is hosted by Google, so there's no hardware or software for you to install or maintain. It will have following feature

According to Google "Gmail for your domain is currently available as a limited beta. If your organization is interested in helping Google test this service, we'll consider your domain for this beta. You'll need to sign in with a Google Account (or get a new one), and answer a few quick questions about your organization and your email needs."

Is Gmail going to introduce Business Email?

I am using custom email with domain from yahoo. Now news is that Gmail is also planning to introduce same feature with Gmail. According to Cnet blog "Their next big move will likely be GMail for domains a powerful way for anybody who owns a domain to utilize GMail as a mail server, not just a client. Yahoo has their own small business mail product which does precisely this, and now evidence suggests Google is planning the same."

Great news, I hope they will also introduce Hosting service too. Found via digg
