The rumours turned out to be Base
The Google rumours I posted about last time turned out to be nothing to do with RSS, but instead were referring to a new service called Google Base which apparently contains some kind of classifieds service that some people claimed was getting ebay a little jumpy. To be honest though, ebay is so big that no rival service should make them that jumpy, even amazon’s. I’ve tried to log in to Google Base with my Google account but it’s still a locked door. I guess we’ll find out more soon.
