So I’ve got a quick little experiment running over here.  First impressions scripting is turned off, you can’t even run some basic javascript to print out the current date and time. So will people use it to try and get some link love off of a Google subdomain, or will they use it stick a big old “spammer located here” sign with links to their competition?

Seems like the toy is broken already…. due to heavy demand, and so on… they won’t let people create those pages any more.

That was my first thought also, but my guess is that Google will explicitly undervalue Pages links. We’ll just have to wait a few months and see.

I figured that was going to happen that’s why I did mine first thing this morning.

It seems a little late in the game for free web hosting. When they came out with free email it was something different with 1GB of storage. So why only offer 100MB (read it somewhere, but couldn’t find the official amount on Google) of web space? …Although, ad-free is nice.

It would be interesting to see if it becomes a spammers haven.

Ok. It cached for me without linking to it.

Forgot to mention the date – it was cached on the 26th.
