The Start page has disappeared from Google Apps for new user sign up. The news hadn’t been made public by Google and the step had been taken in favor of Sites Wiki and Web pages. However Google has put down the idea of totally eliminating the Start Page. rather want a transition of users towards Sites. Rajan Sheeth, senior product manager for Google Apps stated:
The use case of Start Page has been almost like a corporate intranet, team page, personal page type of thing for people within an organization.
We’re not eliminating Start Page by any means. What we’re trying to do is move new users coming into the platform towards Sites, which will better fit their use case.
