JotSpot Relaunched As Google Sites
Gaveen writes "The popular JotSpot, which was acquired by Google some time ago, is now officially part of the family. JotSpot is now integrated into Google Apps as Google Sites. InfoWorld has a writeup on the service."
"I mean pending is acceptable for a few days even - but then it needs to get sorted out."
Hey, it takes more than just throwing a dart at a board to steal an idea, you know...if they were smart enough to automate cherry-picking of submissions, they'd be smart enough to come up with their own. They are not. We get to deal with it. Life's tough, and then you get rejected.
That's great that InfoWorld has a write up, but could you give me a friggin clue what JotSpot is or why I should give a damn?
Slashdot, where armchair scientists get shouted down and armchair theologians get modded up.
It's not really integrated well with other Google applications, you have to have a separate domain and separate login (if you use an @gmail login) to use it.
then you get rejected
and that's all I want. But it's cool. I thought I could just push it off the bottom of the page, but apparently I have to wait for it to age out.
It's hard to believe that's how Micronians are made. Why don't we see it right now by having you both kiss one another?
I'm guessing that instead of rejecting it first, and _then_ ripping submitters off by using roland poop-pah-meal, etc. they think if they just let it quietly die like a bloated x-groundhog lying under the front porch in the heat of the afternoon, maybe no one will notice.
But just like that motionless and maggot-ridden rodent, the wafting smell of a purloined post gives up the ghost hiding in the shadows.
I must be getting desperate, because I read that as "JobSpot" several times, and thought there was now a Google job-search site.

If you try to log into the site using a domain already setup under Google Apps for Domains, you'll receive an error indicating that you have to speak to your site Admin to get access.
This can be a bit confusing, because intially if you log into the dashboard for your domain, Google Sites isn't automaticly added to your services and thus you might do as I did and thrash around a bit trying to figure out how to setup acccess.
It's actually fairly easy, use the "Add Services" button on your Dashboard and Google Sites should be one of the options listed (I'm using the "Next Gen Dashboard, so if you are using the old gen version which doesn't list beta services it might not show). Add the service, and optionally point it to sites.yourdomain.com or leave it at the default google.com address.
I'm waiting for the DNS to refresh for my own domain, but this looks like something that will be fun to play with.

JotSpot used Dojo but Sites doesn't... It looks like they are now using their own library specific to Google Sites (code doesn't look like GWT).
Anyone know what they are using?
Happy moony
Your post would probably not have directed traffic to InfoWorld.

That is true - I linked a WaPo article and google sites itself. But really - I think this summary was worded better.
