So now Google can help you create the sites that you can then google. I'm not sure how comfortable I am with centralizing so many online processes with one company.

This sort of thing could be useful for classroom use, but, if I were a CEO, I'd not want my intra hosted on anything other than my own server.

Google announced on its official blog late Wednesday that Google Sites, its simplified Web site creation service, is now available to any registered Google user.

A few months ago we launched Google Sites exclusively as part of Google Apps for companies and organizations that wanted to use the service on their own domains. Now we've made it easy for anyone to set up a website to share all types of information -- team projects, company intranets, community groups, classrooms, clubs, family updates, you name it -- in one place, for a few people, a group or the world. You can securely host your own website at http://sites.google.com/[your-website] and add as many pages as you like for free.
