Big Waves from "Google Base"
Big Waves from "Google Base": "Google's already outsize ambitions appeared to balloon even bigger on Oct. 25 with the news that it's apparently testing something called Google Base. The test site, spotted by sharp-eyed Web surfers in Europe, indicate that Google aims to solicit people to post all manner of content on its site. But what got people's attention were the specific examples, such as classified-ad listings for real estate.
For now, Google says only that it's trying to provide content owners an easy way to 'give us access to their content.' It also says it has nothing to announce right now. But that didn't stop rampant speculation about precisely what Google's next move would be. Because Google has been looking at getting into auctions or classifieds for months now, most of the buzz has centered around the potential to take on eBay."
