Going in circles

Google announced a new thing today called Page Creator, which will allow you to easily create web pages in a WYSIWYG kind of way. Not surprisingly, it proved so popular that Google had to limit new accounts on it for awhile.

No problem. I can deal with that. Here’s what I find funny, though:

* When you click on the link above, it asks you for your GMail user name and password to log in.

* This message appears on the next screen:

Thank you for your interest in Google Page Creator! Google Page Creator has experienced extremely strong demand, and, as a result, we have temporarily limited the number of new signups as we increase capacity. In the meantime, please submit your email address and we will notify you as soon as we are ready to add new accounts. Thank you for your patience.

I just gave them my e-mail address to log on. Isn’t that good enough?

( I know that people use other e-mail accounts, but it just seems funny to ask me for my e-mail address after asking me for my e-mail address. )
