So the Google Base service that was sniffed out last month is now live. Google Blogoscoped has a nice review of the app with screenshots. Haven't tried it myself yet and honestly, I'm not that excited about it. Enough of my Base already belongs to Google, really, and it's difficult to garner any enthusiasm for Yet Another Walled Data Garden. YMMV — let us know in the comments if you're make use of Google Base and what you like/dislike about the service.

1. As I wrote at http://marshallk.com/google-base-is-confusing I am finding that both posting and searching in Google Base right now is counter-intuitive and akward. I've been getting traffic from it today and I don't think my visitors meant to click through to my site, I think they just wanted to read the Google Base entry. Oops.
