All your base are belong to Google

In their relentless quest for world domination, Google has done it again. Here’s Google Base, a place to post content.

What kind of content? For a start, no HTML. Apparently, most posts so far are ads to sell stuff, much like the ads section of a newspaper. Content only lasts 31 days there, so you won’t be able to create the equivalent of a splog. (hard to do, anyway, without HTML links…)

To test it, I created a “People Profile” of myself, since, of course, I’m a celebrity. ;)

    I like that it says:
    This item will expire in 31 days.
    Applied to your page, it made me laugh out loud. :D
