is it just me? or is it just a cluster of junk?
not shooting google down..
but i mean.. what am i supposed to be looking for?
do a search for "chattanooga"
it brings up a bunch of listings from ONE car dealer.. and that's all..
anyone shed some light for me?

ya, that's true! what is going on here?
Google must really hate the 'net as we know it that they need to create their own pile of junk

It will soon be renamed google.com/flea_market

i think its for you to build your own database. like a car dealer can make a database of cars, and allow people to search it by linking to their google base. that way they do not have to build a search system on their website.

that DOES sound cool..
i guess i was somehow under the impression that it was going to be more of a craigslist style of thing.. where i could look up "furniture for sale" in a certain zip code or something..
ah well. still cool
- konspiracy0
hush.
give it time! - its only new.the stuff that is up there is people that have put their stuff up there. you can add ANYTHING - reviews, stuff for sale .... etc
it'll turn into a HUGE database once word gets out and its been around for a lil while.i dont think theres any REAL template what for what they want it to be. think they are just gonna let it grow into 'something'.

google just takes any idea and puts their name on it and expects a success
- Fizik0
...let it grow into something? like, a large, multiple server-spanning, 'network', with items of knowledge and information all 'inter'linked?
sounds like their own internet

The idea is pretty cool, but the UI sucks. I think all these new modules Google is developing are really cool, but most of them are for experienced web users only. Novice users just want a single searchfield and a few easy to understand features. Like on Google search, Ebay or Amazon.
- Jaline0
So then novice ppl don't have to use Google until they can deal with it. It does take time to figure out, but the FAQ pages are easily accessible and the UI isn't that hard to figure out if you take some effort and time. Even without that you could figure it out.
Umm..basically, I agree with other ppl in that I think we have to wait and see what will come of this. Sounds like an awesome idea though, so I'm looking forward to seeing what it will evolve into.

GOOGLE: All your base are belong to us.
GOOGLE: You are on the way to destruction...Well, someone had to.

list it on Google base for free, nativley list it on Goolge/Froogle, advertise it with Adwords & Adsense, give it's location with Google maps/local, enable people to discuss it over Talk & Gmail for free, (over Google's free wifi) eventually to buy it through Google wallet...
Yep. sure sound like a shit idea to me...
