Looks like it's more geared towards the
online sale of personal items or services.
So Backpack looks to have dodged the worst of
the storm, though you never know what Google
has up its sleeve. Personal information
organization like Backpack offers is a
definite need which is underserved by Outlook
and today's generation of PDA type devices.
And Google loves to come up with answers to
thoese types of problems...

Ebay owns part of Craigslist! They were
probably looking at that model as part of
their next growth initiative, but Googlebot
beat them to it...

So are they saying you will be able to post
files? (ie, could people use it to store
audio files for their podcasts?)

This is clever, it neatly sideswipes
Microsoft's efforts to get us to store and
search information locally - why bother when
it can be done in a central location? You
then have to start asking, why bother with a
PC when you can use any device to
create/access/search your data? Microsoft
needs to gets its skates on now to catch up!

flickr only has my pictures (and they
*don't* have that--i keep them also locally,
in their original sizes, 'cos flickr hasn't
proven stability!) -- but with data...this
whole "central server" thing still
hasn't resonated greatly with me Just Yet.
This sounds like flickr & friendster
& craigslist ... on STEROIDS!
They better set us up the bomb soon - I
can't wait!

As an affiliate marketer – this will really
take away from from my eBay commission
business. Why? There are thousands of people
like myself who target certain keywords using
Google Adwords and make commission by linking
to eBay to make a commission. Now I have a
feeling those ads will be replaced with the
Google Base Ads.
This can be an interesting turn – perhaps
Google will have some affiliate program?!
I started a new forum where we can all
discuss Google Base. I hope that you all join
me in this!
Its about time that someone stood up to eBay.
All their fees and screwing around are
kicking out the little guys and only leaving
room for big companies.

Sign up for a free account, or sign in (if you're already a member).
Guest Passes let you share your photos that aren't public. Anyone can see your public photos anytime, whether they're a Flickr member or not. But! If you want to share photos marked as friends, family or private, use a Guest Pass. If you're sharing photos from a set, you can create a Guest Pass that includes any of your photos marked as friends, family, or private. If you're sharing your entire photostream, you can create a Guest Pass that includes photos marked as friends or family (but not your private photos). Learn more about Guest Passes![?]
