Google Base: Google Local Search+Social Classifieds Engine+ Google Maps
Google Base was online
for only a short time, and is now returning a 502 ( Proxy ) error.
What is google base? Well from the screenshots1 posted around the net from the short time that Google Base was online we can tell that it is a “a service to insert and share all types of content: events, housing, jobs, products, second-hand vehicles”. Basically you can upload anything and google will store it, index it, and maybe even put it in the search results.
Also interesting was the quote from a blog about google :
This new tool will be introduced during the Google Zeitgeist’05 Partner Forum to be held today at Google HQ in California.
The Google Zeitgeist’05 Partner Forum has banned Blogging and Journalists, with all talks “Off the record” according to reports on the web. However if they are talking about Google Base at the Zeitgeist, then I can’t help thinking out of 400 people someone will spill the beans..
Google have also registered the domain googlebase.com, googlebase.net and googlebase.org. These Google base domains were registered around 14th of Aug 2005. However they do not point to the Google Base page at http://base.google.com/
Now, what has Base got to do with anything? Well my guess is can only mean Google Database.
