Google Overlords 10/26/2005 07:53:00 AM
File under: geek. Uninterested? Move along!

Lots of talk (and pics!) about/of the new google service being announced today. Sounds basically like they're going to provide a centralized data store (don't listen to the fools and think Craigslist or eBay replacement - think of that plus plus).

Basically, seems like they're going to provide an easy way to categorize (and therefore, easy for everyone else to search) basically ANYTHING. So if you want a record of all your DVDs, you plug them into base.google.com and shazam! they're there for your friends to look through. Or for you to create a "library" on a custom web page. I imagine they'll provide a basic tool that's very customizable, allowing the hordes to do with as they like. In fact, they probably have no idea how everyone will use this - much like people have customized Google Maps for their own purposes.

One thing that people haven't compared the service to that surprises me: del.icio.us. Seems a given.

Thoughts?

Better send my resume to them quick! Before they take over the world! :)

Seriously... the coolest part about it is the different ways in which people will use it! Its the stuff that Google doesn't even think of that I dig the most!
