Happy birthday, Google Base!

Amazing to think that Google Base is one year old today. As predicted, it proved so powerful and so easy to use that it has already gobbled up most of the world's information, made Craigslist redundant, and brought Amazon to its knees. It just proves how right Google was to ignore microformats etc. Just imagine how much more amazing it will be when it comes out of beta in another four or five years! Or not, as the case may be....
