Google has just released it’s own version of a HTML Home Page Creator .

I wonder if pages created with Home Page Creator will get some special treatment from Google (ie: I’m sure the pages will be indexed by Google).

According to Search Engine Watch

…the service was the result of frustration he experienced when friends or family members wanted to create web sites but were stymied by technical challenges. He said that he assembled a team within Google to create a simple, easy to use tool as part of a "20% project," in which Google engineers are encouraged to spend a day a week working on non-job related projects.

Google Page Creator is a web-based application that runs on any computer or operating system. To use it, you must have a Google account and a Gmail address. Pages that you create are stored on Google servers using a URL convention of gmailname.googlepages.com.

Each user is provided with 100 megabytes of free storage space, and while there is a limit on the amount of bandwidth a site is allowed, Rosenstein says he doubts most people will ever reach the limit. The limit is primarily in place to foil the efforts of spammers.

Should be fun to see where this goes.
