google apps for 'meh' domain

August 28, 2006 under Computers, Google, Internet

Perhaps I’m dense and nobody’s had the heart to tell me. There’s been a whole lotta hoopla about Google offering new services to their “For Your Domain” service. I’ve been using this service for over a month. Albeit, like every other Google offering, it was in beta. But still, the only difference I see between then and now is that they’ve added Google Page Creator. Am I missing something? Should I be excited?

Google Page Creator is probably useful for users without any sort of web development abilities and perhaps small companies without an in-house web department. For myself, I’ll never use this feature. What I’d like to see is the ability to sign-in to Google’s other services like Maps and Groups with my domain email address. Spreadsheet and Writely might be handy, and probably will be bundled in “For Your Domain” fairly soon. But still, I’d rather be able to use my domain email address that Google manages so that I can sign-in to their existing services. It seems so simple.
