And now it’s time for Google Pages.

Posted on 23 February 2006 by John

Look ma, now you don’t need My-crow-softie FrontPage to create that page about your grandson! After all Google has come up with an online homepage editor and a free webhosting service (the rumor floated a few years ago has finally come true!).

You get 100 MB free webspace, a sub-domain (name.googlepages.com) and loads of pre-made templates to publish those awe-inspiring sites.

The interface is about as cool as that of GMail (both use AJAX) and extremely fast and easy — yes, now even your Grandpa can create a site.

Way to go Google! But are you folks going to anything about those servers errors that I’ve been getting in my GMail?

UPDATE 1 : I seem to be getting a 404 error at the site right now. It was working a few minutes ago. Perhaps it should be back up soon.

UPDATE 2 : It is back.

Actually you can use Google Groups to host your forum! PHP and MySQL? Tough luck!

This is a viral video from Youtube that is getting a lot of attention.

I will let the author set the scene:

It was back in Oct 2005.

My wedding was about a month to go and I decided to make a memorable event for my future wife. But, I and she were working and due to preparation of wedding, I didn’t have enough budgets for expensive proposal. While I was considering for the event, I remembered what she said in the past. “Wow it would be great if I can get a chance to go in the room with full of yellow post it just like Sang Sang Plus” (Sang Sang Plus is one of the famous talk show (TV program) in Korea and they prepare a room with full of yellow post it – questions from fans to famous celebrity)

I wrote all the happy memories that I had with my wife in 5,940 post it. It took me 4 days & 5 nights to write everything and post it in the bathroom. (I tried main living room first, but, due to surface of wallpaper, I had to change the place) Once we back from honeymoon, we took all the post it off and kept it in the box until now.
