I received an email from Google a few days ago informing me that they now offer their Google Sites suite to users within organisations using Apps. No doubt a useful innovation for some, however it does leave you wondering just how far Google is going to extent its product line. Is there really a need for another contact management system or WYSIWYG browser based application? Synergy between products is great, but only if each product actually meets a real demand or significantly improves upon an existing platform – so far I’m not convinced that Google Sites does either.
