Google Base turns 1!

Google Base turns 1!


It's been a year since the launch of Google Base, and Bindu Reddy attempts to make an academy award speech on the Google Base Blog. She also lists out some of the significant achievements of Google Base in the last year, which are as follows:
  1. The Google Base API that enables users to query items in Base and build their own cool mashups. Sites like Job Central, a national non-profit labor exchange, already are using the Google Base data API to include job listings from Google Base in their search results. Find a convertible car 4sale leads buyers to, yes, convertibles in Google Base, and plots their location on Google Maps

  2. Surfacing some Google Base results on Google when people are looking for items like used cars or pumpkin recipes

  3. Releasing such features as a rich text editor, reporting for clicks and impressions, and integration with Google Checkout and Google AdWords so that data providers can easily upload and manage their content and drive traffic

  4. Launching Google Base in the UK and Germany, so that people in these countries have a simple way to upload their data to Google
Google Base aims at creating an online database of easily searchable, structured information.

We wish Google Base a Very Happy Birthday and success in all it's endeavours.
