25 Oct 05 Google – All your Base are belong to us
Google Base seems to be like an eBay meets Craigs List. List your items online with or without a price. Hmm sounds like the Google Wallet service will be tied into this one.
According to Tony Ruscoe
“Google Base is Google’s latest project in an effort to organize the world’s information. It isn’t in Beta or Alpha yet. They are still developing it. I wasn’t able to get much information from my sources at Google, but I’ll tell you what they told me. Basically, Google Base will present feed results on the results page. The feeds will probably be anywhere from 1-3 results, and either presented above or below the horizontal sponsored ads.â€
It was alive briefly,but Google quickly removed it.Here is the text that was on it
“Google Base is Google’s database into which you can add all types of content. We’ll host your content and make it searchable online for free.
Examples of items you can find in Google Base:
Description of your party planning service
Articles on current events from your website
Listing of your used car for sale
Database of protein structures
You can describe any item you post with attributes, which will help people find it when they search Google Base. In fact, based on the relevance of your items, they may also be included in the main Google search index and other Google products like Froogle and Google Local.â€
Keep your eyes on Base.Google.Com. Who knows when it will be launched.
This is going to be more than the next Paypal. But I don’t quite know what it is yet. Definitely interesting, though.
