New Google Database Service

Everyone’s favorite search engine appears to marching steadily toward its goal of indexing every piece of digital content in the universe.

Welcome to Google Base:

Google Base is Google’s database into which you can add all types of content. We’ll host your content and make it searchable online for free.

Examples of items you can find in Google Base:

• Description of your party planning service
• Articles on current events from your website
• Listing of your used car for sale
• Database of protein structures

You can describe any item you post with attributes, which will help people find it when they search Google Base. In fact, based on the relevance of your items, they may also be included in the main Google search index and other Google products like Froogle and Google Local.

Because, you know, when you gotta have a working database of protein structures like yesterday man, it’s great to be able to turn to Google.

UPDATE: The Google Base subdomain I linked to above is only intermittantly available at this point; Google’s expected to make the official announcement and make the service go live later today. More info here.

Google, Google+Base
