Of hundreds of slashdot readers as they feel betrayed by their great and perfect "Google", since this isn't for them.......

Unless it allows page creation through one huge button entitled "MAKE WEBPAGE CLICK HERE" its not going to work for my mom.
In fact, now I come to think about it, she would have to a) Use a computer and b) Use the internet, first!

"Google Pages Is Not For You." It's for your mom
But what if I am my mom?!?
This guy's the limit!
I know I'll get modded down for this, but if Pages is for your mom, who is sendmail for? People with PhD's in computer science and maths?

Apparently, a link to a blog with a couple paragraphs and screenshots of a service that has been covered before is newsworthy. Not in my opinion.

Seriously though, did anyone thing that Google Pages would be met by anything but annoyance and derision by the uber-geeks of the slashdot crowd?
Its like discussing Garanimals (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=garanimals) in a fashion forum. I wish they had those for adults... sigh...
If you want an example of something they rejected to bring you a duped article, here's one I submitted this morning that some of you may or may not care about:
OK. Firstly, the article isn't a dupe. It's a link to a review of a service mentioned in a previous dupe. Note the subtle difference.
And secondly, you have no grounds for complaint. The Slashdot Random Story Submission Selection System (SRSSSS), is completely unbiased. Not even quality submissions are granted preference!
May the Maths Be with you!
Maybe Google has a secret strategy to easily increase the quality of their search results.
1) Make it easy to create a useless crap webpage.
2) All crap webpage designers flock to Google Pages.
3) Google just blocks Google Pages domain from search results.
4) ??????????
5) Profit!
Big ones, small ones, some as big as yer 'ead!

You're not the only one. Putting on my conspiracy hat, FBI must be taking over blogs mentioning Google until Google's given over the search data the government asked for. ;)
