|  Google Page Creator Closed to New Users Google Page Creator Closed to New Users Web page creation and hosting service attracted too many users, search giant says. Juan Carlos Perez, IDG News Service Friday, February 24, 2006 Source Google launched an early test version of a Web page creation and hosting service on Thursday and hours later stopped accepting sign-ups, citing overwhelming demand. The Mountain View, California, search giant describes the free Google Page Creator as a browser-based tool that requires no knowledge of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) or any other programming languages. Google promises that non-technical users can create, in a matter of minutes, "attractive, functional" Web pages, which the company will then host for free. No software has to be downloaded. Hitting Its Limits Google all along intended to accept a limited number of users in this early test phase, and it reached that limit within hours of making the service available on Thursday, the company said in a statement. Google expects to resume accepting sign-ups "very soon" and has set up a waiting list online The service is, at the moment, a tool for creating individual Web pages, not Web sites, according to Google. Users must have a subscription to the company's free Gmail Web mail service. Google has set a 100MB storage limit per Google Page Creator user for pages and uploaded files.

Join Date: Jun 2006 Posts: 316 Location: Texas | Ok, I am officially calling BS on this. I think google is doing this on purpose. Releasing something, then holding it back like this, making people want it even more. Heck it worked on me. I really wasn't too interested in analytics until I couldnt have it. Wasn't long until I was going crazy waiting for it.  | ||||

| ^ I agree with you. They are not stupid. They knew for one if they made a 299 dollar a month program like Urchin free the demand would overwhelm them. They are enjoying every bit of this. | ||||
