On Friday, Internet giant Google announced their latest free service to the world. Then later the same day, took it off line.
The new product, called Google Page Creator, is a free, easy, browser-based tool for creating and hosting web pages.
Web publishing can be complicated, expensive, and unsatisfying. Google Page Creator was designed with ease of use in mind. Its unique interface enables users to edit and create pages just as they appear online, without knowledge of HTML or other computer programming languages. Combined with a simple one-step publishing process, users can create attractive, functional web pages in minutes - hosted by Google, for free.
Google Page Creator is available on Google Labs, an area of the Google web site that is devoted to ideas and new technology, that aren't quite ready for prime time.
About eight hours after the launch of Google Page Creator, Google were forced to take the service off line due to what they are calling, "extraordinary demand".
Google have now decided to limit the number of page sign-ups in order to provide users with "an optimal publishing experience". Due to the demand on Friday, Google reached their limit so have temporarily paused additional sign-ups.
Users may check the Google Page Creator web site regularly for updates or submit their email address to a waiting list and Google will contact them when they have the capacity to support additional users.
