Google's Latest Announcements

I haven't been too overwhelmed with what Google's been up to lately. Their Video service is junk, and if what you said about Pages is any indication, it's more of the same.

Last week, I wrote that Google was "Stretching for Announcements"

The quality of their products, and recent announcements for itsy-bitsy features like sports scores through a toll-free number, aren't what I'd expect from a $100 Billion company (by market cap or revenue). Don't get me wrong, I don't use any other search engine and GMail is fine, but they bought Google Earth and Blogger, and are just as responsible for those "introductions" as Microsoft has been for a lot of their apps. (i.e.... not responsible)

On the Web creation side, after years of using BareBones BBEdit, and dabbling with TypePad, I switched to RapidWeaver from Realmacsoftware. It's not perfect, but it's great - and well beyond what I expect Google Pages to be.
