Let me know...

I think Google is on to something very powerful here. I've been arguing for a while that simple publishing (a la wiki) has the potential to be the glue that helps hold together any organization.
Give people a way to document how their company works, collaborate on projects, share links, connect to internal and external apps, and you'll make their work lives much more efficient.
It also helps make sure you codify all the tacit knowledge in the heads of your staff, which helps both with transitioning folks out, as well as onboarding new hires.
Of course, I do feel obligated to point out that PBwiki has been doing everything that Google Sites does for years now.
PBwiki makes it easy for everyone from Fortune 500 companies to individual teachers to collaborate online. This includes intranets, project sites, classrooms, and more.
PBwiki also allows you to embed Google Calendars, Documents, and Spreadsheets the same way that you do in Google Sites. Plus we have plugins for other vendors, like 30Boxes.
And our customers don't have to worry about privacy or security. In fact, Symantec recently became a customer, and PBwiki passed their security audit without a problem.
There are a few big differences...PBwiki has been dealing with large deployments for years, and so we've added plenty of features to help bigger companies manage their wikis. It's not simply a matter of scaling up, a la the Wikipedia.
And perhaps most importantly, PBwiki is already the market leader, with 450,000 wikis hosted, thousands of paying customers, millions of users, and more pages hosted than the aforementioned Wikipedia.
And PBwiki's customers are also an all-star lineup, including folks like Facebook, Oracle, DePaul University, and the FDA.
We're happy that Google will be bringing its amazing press machine to bear on the collaboration space (though I do think they shouldn't be ashamed of the word "wiki"!), and our hope is that PBwiki's position of leadership will let us benefit disproportionately from the attention.
After all, right now, Google Sites is only available for Google Apps users, which represent a small fraction of our customer base, so there's not likely to be much cannibalization.

Nice place, thank you! I bought a pair of ugg boots as my second pair on reccomendation from an Australian friend.. I honestly didn't know other ugg boot labels were genuine. I was happy with the price and the quality was fine, I compared them with my older uggs, the stitching and suede is pretty much the same if not better. As you've no doubt heard already they are extremely warm, which I was expecting. I sometimes wear mine with top cuff rolled over to reveal the inner fluff, I wasn't sure if could be done by looking at these pictures but it can be done. I'll wear these almost every day and so I'll most likely be back for more come Christmas. Ugg boots on sale!
