Dog with newspaper thinking, "RSS"

Google sites is the best thing to hit the web since Google Apps. For a long time I'd been wanting a way to have a more private area, where others could still contribute without having to give them full administrative privileges to my domain - and Sites fits the bill and then some. I've used it to support many varied activities including private notes and conversations with clients, keeping track of my home schooled children's assignments and homework, letting them create their own web pages, collaborating with others on content for books and engineering designs, and even sharing pictures of our new dog with my family. It's easier and faster than a wiki, I can control who can see or contribute to a given site, and it's just downright fun to use!

I have only just became aware of this Google service. Apparently it is very easy to exchange data from one google application to another google application. Levels of control can be given. I saw this used extensively for curriculum co-ordination in a failing Bronx school in New York by an Australian who now is back in Australia and continuing the co-ordination. The world is surely getting flatter?
