Google Sites ... Nice ... Not a wiki
Google has a new service named Google Sites. You can read Google's own announcement, or watch a short video demonstration. In short, this free service allows anyone to create a collaborative web portal. However, although you may give anyone you desire full edit privileges, the service does not act like a wiki (anonymous edit, open invitations to join site, RSS, etc). Having said that ... it looks quite good. Here are some screen shots of the basic features. Your viewing options are to either view / download the Powerpoint file (includes annotations), or expand any thumbnail image shown below.
