Bringing it all together
Posted by Scott Johnston, Senior
Product Manager (former VP of Products at JotSpot)
Many of you have been waiting for JotSpot to re-emerge, integrated
into Google — and now it's happening. Here's the
story:
In the last 10 years, the way all of us work has changed. We've
grown accustomed to always being connected through email and
instant messaging. Consequently, people are working together in
teams more often, with larger groups, and with others who may be in
different parts of the country or the world. We are shifting our
focus from personal to team productivity. It's less about
"you" and more about "us."
But with this explosion in collaboration, how do you bring together
everything your team needs to work? How do you take information,
whether it is on your desktop or online, and share it with specific
groups of people — your team, the company, the public?
Meet Google Sites, the newest addition to the Google Apps product
suite. It was designed to allow you to easily create a network of
sites and share them with whomever you choose. Google Sites lets
you pull together information from across Google Apps by embedding
documents, spreadsheets, presentations, videos, and calendars in
your sites. Of course, we also harness the power of Google search
technology so your search results are always fast and
relevant.
What does it take to start using Google Sites? Just a click of a
button — that's it. Here's an overview with more
detail:
We're just finishing up the code to migrate existing JotSpot
customer wikis to Google sites, so if you're already a JotSpot
customer, you'll be hearing from us soon on how to make the
switch.
