Google Base first appeared as a public beta in November of 2005. It had been in a somewhat quiet testing mode since at least a month earlier.

Some have compared it to Craigslist while others have thought of it as potential competition for eBay.

Google Base, though, is neither.

According to Googles official description, Google Base is a place where you can post all types of content and have it show up on Google.

Underlying the newly available Google Base Data API is Googles GData API, which, according to Googles definition, provides a simple standard protocol for reading and writing data on the web.

GData combines both Atom 1.0 and RSS 2.0 XML syndication formats in addition to a few extensions for dealing with queries.

To acquire information from a service that supports GData, you send an HTTP GET request; the service returns results as an Atom or RSS feed, Googles documentation states. You can update data (where supported by a particular GData service) by sending an HTTP PUT request, an approach based on the Atom Publishing Protocol.

GData is already used in the Google Calendar API and Blogger Data API among other Google services.
