Google buys wiki site hosting service that includes blogging and many other applications

Google buys JotSpot http://jot.com which provides free wiki (read/write
collaboration web platform) hosting services with a large number of
applications (modules) that add blogs, email list servers, spreadsheets and
other features to the web site which is given a distinctive URL like
http://inetgroup.jot.com.

Like Google's acquisition of Blogger.com several years ago the premium
services which were available at additional charge will be avilable some
time after the acquisition for free.  Among other premium services, a
JotSpot wiki could be assigned to your own web domain address.

For the time being JotSpot is not accepting new accounts.  However, you can
log on to the http://inetgroup.jot.com site, edit pages, create pages, see
all of the applications that can be added and get a feel for what this wiki
that Google has acquired will be doing for their portfolio of web based
applications.  Perhaps JotSpot will become the web infrastructure for
building an entire full featured web site around your blog, a wiki or what
ever combination of Google applications suit your fancy.

Send me an email with just a bit about yourself if you would like
administrator access to tack a good look behind the scenes.  If you have
been active as a participant in Network-Lawyers -- that was some time
back -- just say that.

P.S. As an example of what can be done with the pages at JotSpot (in
addition to on the fly editing from you browser) here is a list of tools
available for each page:

    * Printable version
    * Import Word document
    * Import Excel document
    * Email this page
    * Export wiki as XML
