Google Base
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia, by MultiMedia
Google Base is an online database provided by Google into which anyone
can add almost any type of content. As of 2005, it is available to the
public as a beta version, however the rest of Google's
services
do not yet contain information about, or link to, information from
Google Base. Because information about the service was leaked before
public release, it generated much interest in the IT community prior to
release. Google subsequently responded on their blog with an official
statement:
"You may have seen stories today reporting on a new product that
we're testing, and speculating about our plans. Here's what's really
going on. We are testing a new way for content owners to submit their
content to Google, which we hope will complement existing methods such
as our web crawl and Google Sitemaps.
We think it's an exciting product, and we'll let you know when there's
more news."
A major component of Google Base is acting like a classified ads service,
such as Craigslist. However it has also been used for such items as protein
structures, current events, real estate, recipes, and more.
