Google: The world's storage bin

Google is taking over the world, a chunk at a time. And while there are some who worry about it, most people feel comfortable with Google’s “do no evil” policy.

I just discovered Google Base, which has apparently been live for a few weeks. You can store almost anything there and search for it. You can assign attributes, to go beyond free search for finding things.

The subtle difference between Google Base and Google Search is that the stuff in Google Base is on their servers. If you carry that thinking to its logical conclusion, you can come up with a world in which all your files are stored on Google’s servers, programs run on their network, and the box on your desk is nothing but a Web access device.

I think this has implications for Internet marketing, though I am not sure what they are at this point.

Check out Google Base.
