Google Sites - keeruline kasutuskogemus?

-

Jätkaksin diskussiooni Google Apps teemal. Google Apps paketti kuuluvad teatavasti järgmised teenused:
- Gmail
- Calendar
- Contacts
- Docs
- Sites
- jt. võib-olla veidi vähemolulised teenused.

Need on kõik teenused, mis on ühe ettevõtte jaoks olulised IT lahendused ja kuuluvad ettevõtte "baas-IT" hulka. Nad vastavad kahele olulisele parameetrile:
- Iga kõrgharidusega inimene saab aru nende sisust.
- Iga ettevõtte jaoks on nad vajalikud.

Olen ise erinevate Google toodete kasutaja juba aastaid ja olen juba mitmel korral üllatunud sellest kui raske on Google Sites-ga normaalset veebilehte teha. Ausalt öeldes ei ole see mul tänaseni hästi ei õnnestunud. Sites-st ei paista kuskilt Googlele omast lihtsat ja selget kasutusmugavust, head disaini ega arusaadavust. Millised on teie kogemused Google Sites-ga? Kas teate mõnda head veebilehte, mis toimiks tema peal? Või on ikkagi soovitav kasutada teisi CMS-e? Edicy-t? Joomlat? Wordpressi?

See on üllatav, et Google on sellise kesise lahenduse nagu Google Sites oma portfelli jätnud ja minu meelest ei ole ta seda ka viimase paari aasta jooksul väga palju arendanud. Eriti arvestades, et CMS ja veeb on teenus mida praktiliselt iga ettevõte vajab.

    Kõige kummalisem selle juures on see, et foorumitest ja blogidest leidsin ma ainult neutraalseid või positiivseid kommentaare Google Sites-i kohta. Paneb mõtlema, et äkki on siiski viga minus. :-)

    Ehk nagu tüüpiline Apple kasutaja ütleks vaadeldes rante oma randmetel: Mitte Macbooki äär ei ole terav, vaid minu käed on keha küljes valesti.

    mõtteliselt on ka blogger üks osa google appidest. ei ole vahet, kas kasutada GS-i või BLG-it oma veebilehe ülesehitamiseks.

    Pigem nagu see: http://googleappsupdates.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Sites

    Aga jah, eks ta ebamugav on kyll. Suunatud pigem inimestele, kes seni kirjutasid oma veebi Wordis, kui neile, kes tegid seda Notepadis.

    Vanasti oli Google Pages (oli vist selline nimi), mis oli Google Apps koosseisus ja oli ülilihtne. Siis mingi aja pärast integreeriti ka Google Sites sinna ja siis tõesti kadus see kasutusmugavus.

    Minu arusaama järgi on Google Sites pigem alternatiiv eri wiki-keskkondadele kui Edicy-le vmt. Ehk et minu arusaamist mööda on Google Sites eeskätt sobilik (ja sihitud) mitte niivõrd väljapoole suunatud ja head disaini eeldavate lehtede loomiseks, kuivõrd pigem sissepoole (nn intranet) suunatud infovahetuseks ettevõtetes, töögruppides jmt, kus see võiks asendada väga suurt hulka kaustasid ja doc-faile ning mille ühistöö võiks olla väga oluliselt sujuvam.
    Ja sellest vaatenurgast lähtuvalt ma küll ei liitu kriitikaga kasutuslihtsuse osas – minu meelest saab sites sisu loomise, haldamise ja kasutamisega hakkama enam-vähem igaüks, kes hiirt ja klaviatuuri kasutada oskab.
    Ja põhimõtteline muudatus info levitamises ja halduses ongi ehk just olulisim aspekt selle Appi juures(?)

    To Anonymous: Hea point! Google Site kasutamine Intranetiks oli kuskil seal kirjelduses mainitud jah. Ehk siis natuke nagu Sharepoint või?

    Elionis oleme muidu selgelt näinud, et E-posti ja avaliku veebimajutust on mõtet koos pakkuda. Tavaline väikefirma vajab mõlemat ja oma SAAS teenuses pakume neid ka koos: http://arikliendid.elion.ee/majutusteenused-ja-e-post/kodulehe-majutus-ja-e-post
    Ühesõnaga Google-l peaks ka olema mõni avalik veebilehe mootor, et äriettevõtte IT-s oluline olla. Võib-olla saab Google+ Business Pages selleks? :-)

Misconceptions regarding electric cars

-

EU's Fit for 55 plan includes quite ambitious emissions reduction targets for the car industry and this has initiated a big discussion in the industry and among thought-leaders. I would like to point out two topics where our thinking tends to go wrong and where looking at the wider picture makes sense Let's think wider than just switching the power source from internal combustion to battery-electric. Here is a photo of one of the first cars made. It is a 1896 Arnold Benz, whose driver Walter Arnold received the worlds first speeding ticket for driving 13km/h with it. As you can see the car looks like a horse carriage minus the horse. It was only a few decades later that cars were considered to be cars and not horse carriages with engines and could therefore be designed differently. At present day we have a similar problem and are stuck in the thinking that an electric vehicle must be a car where everything must be otherwise the same only the engine to be a battery powered elect...

Last mile delivery revolution in Estonia

Image
The revolutions that change the government tend to be noisy and bloody affairs, but the revolutions in technology and economics happen rather silently. This is because true technical revolutions happen when people start to take a new phenomenon as a normal everyday thing and don't even notice that they changed their behaviour. And one such thing is now happening in Estonia - the radical change in the last mile delivery. As an indicator, here is a list of changes that have happened in the last 5 years: There are now 3 parcel terminal networks operating in Estonia. Omniva, SmartPOST and DPD. Therefore there is competition and prices are driven down. Most E-shops are integrated with some or all of them. There are at least 5 online grocery supermarkets that offer home delivery: Selver, Coop, Fresh and Go, Barbora (the shop previously known as Maxima) and Prisma. One of the latest innovations is done by Coop, who offers grocery lockers that are refrigerated and to where you c...

How to move to Estonia Guide (for ICT consultants, specialists....but for others also)

-
The information in this post and the links were updated on 18th of July 2014. In my opinion Estonia is a good place for IT specialists to find a job and work in! Especially in the situation when the (youth) unemployment is rising and in many European countries there is no sign of it easing.  I promoted the idea to the Estonian IT companies in one of my recent posts . With this post I want to give my contribution to the exchange of talent inside EU. I hope this helps at least a few people.  This post is definitely not an official guide, but more of a friendly advice. If you have any questions regarding moving or any important information that could help others then please comment this post!  This post focuses on moving to Tallinn. Tartu, as the second biggest town in Estonia, is also an alternative with Playtech and Webmedia as the biggest IT sector employers there. The first thing you need is a job .  If you are an IT specialist with a university degree ther...
