Google base lounching soon ?
Nothing is out for now, but Google could become a kind of hoster as well. Like Paul Ford’s book title : “Google is taking all”. Is Google’s goal, to manage the whole net ? Yes, probably, hosting content is just one step forward.
From a SEO point of view, the fact that Google proposes us to make articles about our websites is actually a good point, I suppose there will not be any indexation problems on Google itself.
That is what was seable on http://base.google.com/ a while ago
“Post your items on Google.
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 structuresYou 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.”
On Google Blog, comments :
You may have seen stories today reporting on a new product that we’re testing, and speculating about our plans. Here’s what’s really going on. We are testing a new way for content owners to submit their content to Google, which we hope will complement existing methods such as our web crawl and Google Sitemaps. We think it’s an exciting product, and we’ll let you know when there’s more news.
