Google announced on its official blog that Google Sites, its simplified Web site creation service, is now available to any registered Google user.
Previously, only businesses with Google Apps accounts and their own domains had had access to Google Sites.
Unlike the free Web site creation services of yesteryear (and by yesteryear, I mean 1998), Google Sites are collaborative, which engineering manager Andrew Zaeske said in the announcement makes them ideal for “team projects, company intranets, community groups, classrooms, clubs, family updates, you name it.”
No HTML knowledge is required, and sites are hosted for free at Google domains.

Looks like another useful tool from Google. Would be great for a social or sports club to use, as a low cost means of keeping in touch with their communities.

I have a businesses with Google Apps accounts to use google site. I just use the google site for my file sharing between a few friends in small project. I don’t know what to say, google site seems missing something. I still use Word and Excel file.
Gmail is excellent email account for my small roofing company with my smart phone PDA.
