Long has there been discussion about which is better, Google Sites or SharePoint. Google aims to come out the winner, as it adds new functionality to Google Sites in the form of site templates.

Google Sites Hot on SharePoint’s Tail with New Site Templates
Google announced today that they were opening up their online web site, Google Sites, to anyone who wanted to have one. Previously this service was only available to companies using Google Apps or to people who wanted to host their websites with Google but still had their own domain. Now, any registered Google user can sign up for a free website, prompting some to call it “Geocities 2.0″, naming it after the ubiquitous free website provider of the mid-late 90s.

Google Sites Now Open to Everyone
Google announced on its official blog late Wednesday that Google Sites, its simplified Web site creation service, is now available to any registered Google user.
Previously, only businesses with Google Apps accounts and their own domains had had access to Google Sites.
Unlike the free Web site creation services of yesteryear (and by yesteryear, I mean 1998), Google Sites are collaborative, which engineering manager Andrew Zaeske said in the announcement makes them ideal for “team projects, company intranets, community groups, classrooms, clubs, family updates, you name it.”
No HTML knowledge is required, and sites are hosted for free at Google domains like sites.google.com/organicwheatgrassmoothieclub.
Google Sites got its start when Google acquired wiki platform JotSpot in 2006.
