So, I'm reading all about how Google is going to offer a new service that will slam eBay and Craigslist in one fell swoop. Being a general fan of Google, I swung by the URL of their new service base.google.com. Is it an auction site? Is it a site for posting classified ads?
Well, can't really tell. It just sort of lets you list things. Events, items, and other random crap. I'm not sure exactly how the damn thing is supposed to work. Since, I'm still sick on my back, I thought I'd swing by and see if I could post a listing regarding [http://undergroundparadigm.com/dc|my play] (which is running for two more weekends, BTW) only to discover the site won't come up again. I don't know if it's just one of those random Internet things where people on certain ISPs can't connect to certain sites for a while or what.
Regardless, I think the vagueness and formlessness of Google Base might backfire on them. I may change my opinion once I actually get to give the thing a try.
I just tried to get to base.google.com and it asked me to sign on. I tried my gmail email address and its password to no avail. Hmmmm.....
