Summary

Google Sites For Dummies provides clear, easy-to-understand steps to help readers begin sharing documents and other information with teams, colleagues, or general Internet users with Google Sites. Additionally, the book shows how to integrate information from each of the other web-hosted office applications that are part of Google Apps, including Google Calendar, Google Docs, and Google Talk. Google Sites is a Web-based wiki tool that allows members of a team or group to add or change information or files from anywhere. The book explains how Google Apps users can access and update their sites from any place that has a Web connection. As online collaboration is becoming increasingly popular, the benefits of having their office applications and documents only a click away is a convenience that will draw many users to the Google suite.
