E-learn Weblog of Willem van Valkenburg

Enige tijd geleden heeft Google het bedrijf JotSpot overgenomen. Ze hebben hun product Team Sites sinds kort volledig geintegreerd in de Google Apps. Dit is een wiki omgeving met de integratie met andere Google applicaties (zoals Google Docs, Google Calendar, YouTube en Picasa). Google noemt zelf deze quick facts:

Single-click page creation
Creating a new page for your Google Site just takes the click of a button.

No HTML required
Creating a Google Site is as easy as editing a document, which means there's no markup language for you to learn -- just get started.

Make it your own
Our customization options let you give your Google Site your own look and feel

Get started with templates
We offer a growing list of page types -- web page, announcements, file cabinet, dashboard and list -- to help you get started with your Google Sites pages.

Upload files and attachments
Use the file cabinet to upload files up to 10MB in size. Each Google Apps account receives at least 10GB of storage in Google Sites. Google Apps Premier and Education editions get an additional 500MB for each user account.

Embed rich content
Google Sites is integrated with other Google products, so you can insert videos, docs, spreadsheets, presentations, photo slide shows, and calendars directly onto your Google Sites pages.

Work together and share
Our permission settings let you designate owners, viewers and collaborators (meaning they can edit pages) for your site. And you can make your Google Sites available to just a few people, your entire organization, or the world.

Search with Google
You can search across Google Sites pages and content using powerful Google search technology. You'll find specific pages and documents instantly, the same way you would on Google.com.

Google positioneert dit als alternatief voor Sharepoint. 

Voor E-merge heb ik Google Apps nu opgezet, zodat gebruikers hiermee kunnen experimenteren. Een account aanvragen kan bij E-merge Support.
