Google Developing Database Service

QuantumT writes "Ars Technica has the details on the unannounced Google Base service that will allow anyone with a Google Account to post information and other types of data into a massive, Google-run database. Ars believes that the company is gearing up to take on eBay and Craiglist, which makes sense given the Google Payment service that is in development. Google has commented, saying, 'This is an early-stage test of a product that enables content owners to easily send their content to Google. Like our web crawl and the recently released Google Sitemaps program, we are working to provide content owners an easy way to give us access to their content.' There's a few screenshots as well."

Irresponsible journalism. by DysenteryInTheRanks · 2005-10-25 11:36 · Score: 0, Flamebait

When the writer of an article throws in jokes like "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO GOOGLE," what the hell kind of value can then possibly be added by us, work-not-doing, spelling-not-checking, time-wasting Slashdot hordes?
Please, reporters, show some class. Leave the insipid repetitive humor to the professionals.
Or rather, the amateurs. You know what the hell we mean. Stop smirking.
Stupid writers.

I prefer: 1) say you'll do no evil 2) do evil 3) profit!
