Security and privacy will always be a concern, thanks to FERPA. Google Sites is a great application for creating an online portfolio for a number of reasons, one of which is its great privacy controls. Google makes it easy to make your site private, to share it with select individuals, or to make it entirely public and open to the world. Changing the sharing settings is a click away. If you're submitting resumes, include a link and a note explaining how the hiring committee can access your portfolio. In an interview, you can come prepared to share it. If you want to keep your portfolio private, the viewer will need to request access from you. Alternatively, you can make it public for the period after sending your resume and waiting for interviews.

According to a report by the official Gmail blog on Thursday, the new service allow users to drag files from desktop and drop direct into their email messages.
