The news sites were buzzing yesterday about Google Base (link is currently dead), which many people thought by be Google’s rival service to eBay.
For the first time that I can think of, Google has responded to the rumor via the Google Blog, however they didn’t say much.
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.
That’s all there is to it. Well, I guess we’ll just have to sit tight and see what becomes of Google Base. Until then, here are some articles about Google Base, some of which include screenshots.
Thinking about it…. aren’t we due for a new something from Google? Either a new product beta, something moved to gold status or an improvement on something?
