An Open Letter to Google Sites
Dear Google Sites,
Many people have said many things about the Googleized JotSpot. I’d like to say some things, too. But I can’t because you packaged Google Sites with the Google Apps product suite. That means that I can’t register to use Sites with my beloved Gmail address. You require that people “Sign up with your school or work email address.” I don’t have a school email address. And I can’t use my work address for such things. But I do want to collaborate with people and use this really exciting new application. I read about Sites in Scott Johnston’s blog post and I watched his YouTube video.
Please reconsider allowing your loyal Gmail users to register to use Google Sites with their Gmail addresses.
Thanks in advance…

I agree with this statement. I too have been a long time Gmail (over 3 years) and I really wanted to try out sites.google.com. My school is a community college and doesnt assign email addresses and I dont have a work email address. What gives?

[...] Google Apps - the suite of apps (now also including Google Sites [see my gripe about Sites here]). [...]
