If you publish something on the net, you most likely want people to find it. Search engines, directories and links from other pages are very helpful here – but can things be made even better? Is it possible that your content can be found even easier?
Google started testing a new service, Google Base, and a few days ago rumours started spreading about what this will all be about. Competitor to Ebay? Classified ads? At the time of writing the site is unavailable, but some have managed to get in when it has been up, and it looks like it can be a database over, well, pretty much anything.
Those who should know, would be the folks at Google themselves, end they do have an entry about Google base over at the official Google blog.
Don’t know it it is much clarifying – so it will be interesting to see what it turns out to really be, when it’s ready for us. Considering their other services, it might be very fun to join in on. 😉
