...looking at the screens...I get it...I mean we don't need actually
webpages for a lot of stuff....this is like an expansion of rss, only
the bare data

sounds useful....sorta also appears to be like classifieds...like
dorvak or however you spell it

though I don't understand how you view the stuff really...

[Eric Cranston]

I just got on...and then it died again

[Eric Cranston]

sorry for 4 posts in a row but I wanna show you all the google base
terms of service

[Caleb]

figured you guys might like these since they seem to be down (for now).  first four are my shots of pages, last five are saved from the help site (third ss)

[Caleb]

More!  linked from help page: "Learn more about bulk uploads" (http://base.google.com/base/upload_instructions.html ) and "Google Base Editorial Policies" ( http://base.google.com/base/guidelines.html)

[Eric Cranston]

more screenshots of the service

I am excited...this looks awesome....btw I got these off of the about
page which was up for a little bit

[Caleb]

ok to expand on this topic that is just me and caleb. lol


I am thinking about all the users of this....it could be used like
flickr perhaps, you submit your picture and a description, I don't
think video is in (but could be missused for it, perhaps change the
extension of a movie file to a database and then submit)

you could submit writings, real estate ads, maybe create a tour of
your school or house or business.

To expand on prossiblity functionality you could perhaps have a sort
of yahoo store equilvent on it. When combined with the future "google
purchases" system.

I personally find this really exciting, seems to be a true google
spirit product of expanding the usefulness of the web. Like gmail and
google search did.

its extremely broad.  I can see several advantages to this over traditional web publishing

extremely focused indexing.  the bot doesnt have to guess about what part is the "description" and such
a closer reign on spamming
automatic directory
better "advanced search"

this is sorta a competition with geocities i suppose.  we'll see if you can upload then hotlink.  and see what disk limits are like....

oh...I just realized...you can ftp upload....so I wonder if I can get
on the ftp sever....tries..

[Eric Cranston]

yahoo...it works...not ftp://hedwig.google.com/ takes you to a login
but you have to make your login name in google base....which I can't
do

[Caleb]

hedwig...?

[Eric Cranston]

it's on your uploading screenshot.

[Caleb]

oh, i didnt even look at those :/

[Kass Lloyd]

lol, wonder if they have potter.google.com, voldemort.google.com, crookshanks.google.com and shit like that... must have some potter fans there. ;-)

This whole thing reminds me of the Google Grid from that EPIC 2014
video...

http://mccd.udc.es/orihuela/epic/

[Eric Cranston]

really is a nice presentation...

though i hate the word "googlezon" ugh...

Google Base could perhaps be something like the google grid

one major flaw of the presentation is that it doesn't say how the
difference in the information changes how we live.

But it's great how it explores the abilities of computers. Computers
can do a lot of things we can't do and faster, but can they ever do
everything we can do? and if they ever could...then we totally
question what it is to be human as oppossed to adavanced ai...that
could act just like a human and have actually ideas.

maybe the google review (which was why amazon was combined) can be names - googiew or gooview !!
