Here is what they wrote on their signup page check it out

http://pages.google.com/

This was discovered by someone else, here, anyway I've seen this sometime earlier in one thread... anyway I got my invitation by email from google today. It's a cool stuff that google page creator, but the coolest thing is that they host your page!

i tried a few times but everytime the page says they are unable to offer new page creator accounts today and asks you to put your gmail account user name in waiting list to get the page creator account.

this is the annoying problem with google.....limited activity and dead slow developing...look at their gmail....3 years into being you still cant signup from their home page and you got to wait for an invitation from a already gmail user who in turn has to wait for the periodical invitations gmail allots radomly to users from time to time.

their products are nice and fresh ideas i agree...but a little aggresiveness wont harm.

its intresting to see google's new features.....it seems to be intrested in everything else but search!

from being a cult search engine sending out users to wherever they looked to go on net, its now increasingly
becoming a portal intresting in making users sticking around, that sending them away to other sites as what search engines are supposed to do!

but then who can deny..we all love google and all that google does!


cheerz!

It's because it's test project at Google Labs. You must enter your email address, and they will sent you an email when it's ready for you to use it.. It would be good to have gmail acccount already and sign in with it.

Shiv, google takes so long to develope this type of stuff for various reasons... firstly we usually know about it far before it's actually "Ready". Like the gmail beta that lasted a year+. Most email services would simply have waited until the end of that period before even announcing it widely. Also, they obviously attract enough epople as it is without being 'aggressive' Finally if they want to keep creating quality services in numerous areas but be a little slower at it, fine by me Not that I've personally ever thought they were slow, seems like they release new stuff almost daily...but I digress

But yea, grab a gmail account then sign up. I haven't as I don't have a need for it, but I might try it out eventually just for something to do. Seems like a cool idea. I know other places have offered online page creation tools before, but I imagine google's version would be top notch (for free web stuff) and simplify the process down as much as humanly possible. While most/all of us assumedly prefer making our own pages since this is a technical forum afterall, this type of thing really opens possibilities up for people who don't have the time/know-how to create their own pages from scratch or learn various web languages. Good stuff indeed.

Google sort of has to limit users: hence, the invitation system and the "wait for it" thing with Google Pages. If everybody in Internet Land could sign up without invitations or waiting, the system would overload and we'd end up with just another very slow, badly-conceived system.

Yep. LIke Gmail...Someone has to invite you if you want a Gmail. That is, of course, unless they open for new accounts. It's a great way of controling the amount.

They host your pages, they host your images.
You have a space quota. You can delete your pages, but you cannot delete your images : only upload.
