Wow!

Check out www.googlepages.com immediately! Today they released an incredible new program that will revolutionize the web the same way that blogs did a few years ago!

They are offering 100MB of free web space to every g-mail account holder to build their own web site! How do they do that?! This is the equivalent to the government going around and giving jobs to the poor. This is a big thing! The email was one thing — but this is 100MB to host your own webpage, with your own name on it, without a million characters after it, for completely free!

The thing is, I feel a little uncomfortable — because I, like many of my cyberspace colleagues, rent my own space in the great white and wide world of internets (as George Bush would put it)… This is crazy!!! Because I have many gmail accounts, to give away, and of my own, it means that I have several gigabytes of space just kicking around on the internet, begging me to use them!! This is INSANE!! (Almost as insane as the alpine downhill in the olympics — hence the following reference to both crazy amazing google, and crazy amazing alpine skiing)…

Yet again, Google.com stands up for the little people!!

They don’t allow custom style sheets, but there are few of us that are concerned with that anyway! They do, however, allow for remote storage of files.

Here’s what I figured out already! You can upload 100MB of information to your webpage, and have your webpage stay unpublished. AND… Despite your www.googlepages.comwebpage not being published, you can remotely access the files that you have stored on www.googlepages.com!

Very cool resource…

There are a few negative points to having a www.googlepages.com. If you use the account for your website that is attached to the email address that you use all the time, you might get a lot of spam, because your web address will be public.

But, google has the best spam filters in the business, so it will probably be okay!

This IS the alternative to having an expensive, hard to upkeep website, and a step up from a blog… Very cool for amateurs. And, at the same time, this is also an incredible resource for professionals and hacks alike — providing remote memory for picture and mp3 storage, for use in blogs, podcasts and more!!

Enjoy! Visit www.googlepages.comfor more information!

I really am a fan of what google.com does for free, without advertising, and without hitches.

And, if you still need a gmail address, they’re easy to get, but I’d be happy to provide you with an invitation — I have tons!
