Comments from those who selected JotSpot/Google Sites as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2007

• "looks like Google will finally be opening the beta on this sometime this summer"  Terry Elliott
• "JotSpot is a powerful "application wiki", that I've been using for some years both in ALT and elsewhere. Here is an example of a manual created with JotSpot"  Seb Schmoller
• "This wiki based service provides the capacity to develop online-learning communities in ways that I feel surpass any of the efforts that many have been making to put the power of community/collaboration in peoples hands.  (ex. Microsoft has likely spent a great deal of time and money to enable the Innovative Teacher Network... yet it falls far short of the quality or potential of Google Sites.)"  Mark Arnold
