Google Sites - Google's Plan to Target Microsoft SharePoint?

Today Google has announced that it is relaunching JotSpot as Google Sites, a new Web 2.0 tool for creating fast collaborative websites internally or externally in an organization. Google posted a press release as well as a blog post where it explained the decision and offered a video walkthrough of the product.

Scott Campbell of CRN's ChannelWeb responded to the news with a post on how the new offering would be taking aim at Microsoft SharePoint -- and the post generated more than a dozen reader feedback comments, with some readers saying they would at least consider abandoning SharepPoint for Google Sites.

David Chartier of Ars Technica also noted the potential competition with SharePoint but offered an interesting review of the product, pointing out that although Google Sites is officially part of Google Apps, the product doesn't actually integrate well with other Google offerings.

CMS Watch's TrendWatch blog was outrightly skeptical and deemed Google Sites a beta application that was "hardly a SharePoint killer."
