Google launches wiki
Google has added another feature for selected users: a wiki or collaborative site builder. This follows the juggernaut’s acquisition of Jotspot 16 months ago.
It’s branded as Google Sites and is currently available only to Google Apps users. Google Apps requires the user to own a domain. I have my email for gorey.com.au hosted with Google, which gives me multiple accounts and a Gmail interface.
I’ve already set up a GoogleSite for Gorey family history. I transferred content and had this running in less than an hour.
There are several themes to select from and various optional features with the promise of more to come.
As with everything Google the search feature is terrific.
What can it do? In essence, multiple users can work together to build a site within a standard framework. The edits and revisions are clearly marked.
The design is WYSIWYG. Images can be easily inserted and files attached.
I haven’t experimented with this yet, but Google Docs can also be embedded.
