Google Base was launched today. And when I say “launched” I, of course, mean that it is still in beta as per Google’s policy of releasing stuff that is not completely finished yet works well enough to use.
So much has already been written about Google Base that I will only say that this is a service, which lets you store items, so you can search in them later on. Basically, it’s a free database to store your public data (information and images). For example, a private person can use it to advertise the car he/she is selling, or a recipe for fruit cake.
The reason I’m posting about it is because I want to see how long it will take for someone to develop a Google Base plugin for WordPress (the software this blog runs on) so you can post and backup in Google Base.
On a side note, check out what a search for “all your base are belong to Google” brings up.
Do you know why Joel from ‘Joel on Software’ didn’t continue to Graduate studies?
I have no idea. I think I read his bio once, but I don’t even remember if the reason was there.
