And hear the sighs......

[ShyGuy91284]

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

Just what the world needs

Not for my mom

[sam_paris]

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!

...not gonna happen

Not for me?

"Google Pages Is Not For You." It's for your mom

But what if I am my mom?!?

Sendmail

[zaguar]

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?

> If this is for my mom, it must be really simple as my mom has dimentia

Is that the ability to travel to other dimensions?

Not my mom.

[Rob T Firefly]

My mom is still trying to figure out why they plugged a typewriter and a rolling soapdish into the tv.

Re:Duped Trash Instead of News

[Anonymous Coward]

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.

I share your opinion. No way is this any kind of Front Page Stuff That Matters. More like Pimp My Blog.

Maybe the author is Taco's mom.

If so, he should get her a Google Page, 'cause her server's choking pretty hard already...

But what if I am my mom?!?

In that case I would say that you have some major issues, and needn't really worry about Google...

For your mom...

[ryanvm]

The gist of it is that "Google Pages Is Not For You." It's for your mom.

Hey - that's my motto too.

Re:Duped Trash Instead of News

[period3]

So I couldn't help but notice that this article is just a dupe.

It's not for you, it's for your mom.

'How do I turn my Google page on?' - Mom

[digitaldc]

The gist of it is that "Google Pages Is Not For You." It's for your mom ;)

So it has a personal tech support agent and hand to hold built right into it?

In Bed

[smoor]

Google Pages isn't for your, its for your Mom.... IN BED

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 [google.com]) in a fashion forum. I wish they had those for adults... sigh...

Re:Duped Trash Instead of News

[ObsessiveMathsFreak]

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!

Re:And hear the sighs......

[Anonymous Coward]

In undeveloped countries, the consumer controls the market. In capitalist America, the market controls you.

Well, if that isn't the most dumbass thing I've ever read. And Michael Moore is telling the truth, George Bush has killed millions and Hillary Clinton will be the next President.

If your parents paid for your education, they should demand a refund.

Secret Strategy

[XMilkProject]

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!

[Mr. Underbridge]

That's why digg.com is so much better these days.

Yeah, instead Digg has duped Apple ads from 1987.

Where is the city manager of Tuttle when we need him?

Re:What did I do wrong?

[scdeimos]

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. ;)
