Google Base - What Is It?

I was doing some research the other night and found "Google Base" (Beta). Here is what they say:

"Google Base is a place to which you can easily submit all types of online and offline content, which we'll host and make searchable online."

I also found this:

This is a quote of what Danny Sullivan said back in November 2005

"Google Base is a way for Google to let anyone upload information to Google about anything. That's the master plan. Exactly how that master plan will unfold isn't clear. Maybe there won't be any particular date types that are uploaded. Maybe it really will turn into a great place for those with classified listings that will lead to a dedicated spin-off service. The overall goal seems to be put this tool out there and see what people make of it."

Intersting and very topical in my opinion. I went to Web Pro World to see what others thought or knew. Read more here:
