Google Base seems to be a very worthy project, but my first use of it was disappointing. All I came across in the technology categories were agency job adverts and rubbish. To top that most of the job adverts were out of date! Clearly it’s going to need serious policing otherwise it’ll be spammed to death and full of useless out of date rubbish.

This isn’t to say that I can’t see the huge potential in it. I find the continuing move towards open, semantic, meta-data driven information storage very interesting. Attributes, tags or meta-data whatever you want to call them are a great way to free up the way data is organized in an application so that each user can use it in their own way and find new ways to view it, and new uses for those views.
