In an effort to replicate six year old technology Google has announce the release of the Google Page Creator. Search Engine Watch picked up the scoop and talked to the product manager who said that it was much like using a word processor to publish web pages. I don’t know about you but I would much rather use Microsoft Word than Dreamweaver. I know, I know… this application is not for web developers.

Once again, I disagree with Richard MacManus. He seems to think this is the beginning of a beta of Google Office. I think it’s a lame attempt to capitalize on the success of sites like MySpace. I don’t see it as a move to an Office system. I see this as a move to incorporate several services.

I think Google will follow their own trend of integration much like the molding of Talk and Mail into a single service. Well, Google has created a web page editor, they own the social networking service Orkut, and they own the blogging service Blogger. Sound like any particular web service, ah hem, MySpace?

Another possible integration is that of setting up your own store front using Google Page Creator, Google Wallet, and Google Base. Use Google Base for listings and inventory. Accept payments using Google Wallet. Any mom and pop store can set up a store front using these services. Oh, and people can find your store using Froogle.

I for one think people should stop predicting a google office because its just an easy end to analysis. Google is better than that. They know what they are doing and it is not an office. It’s service integration. Google releases apps in what developers call ‘modules’. Then once those modules are proven successful by real world usage they are plugged in to the greater good.
