“Google Base obviously is a BIG deal. (See Peter M. Zollman's blog item here yesterday for the basics.) There's no shortage of coverage, analysis, and opinion about it on news sites and on blogs.

Base is many things, it seems, not just a new (and, to newspapers, threatening) classifieds player. A number of observers have called its classifieds function 'Craigslist on steroids.' ”
