Google watchers were agog when a new service from the world's biggest search engine briefly made an appearance and then disappeared again. The service called Google Base appeared to be a classified advertising service that would allow users to post their items for sale.

The page itself explained that Google Base allows users to 'add all types of content.'. it also says it will host the content and make it searchable online for free.
