Base.google.com : The End Is Near

Is Google about to index everything in sight? Should Ebay and every other merchant and middleman on the Web be worried? Happy? And of course, the proverbial question: what is Google scheming?

Someone snapped a quick screenshot of base.google.com before it was taken down. Lock your doors. Pull down your blinds. Hide the children. Google is coming.

Their plan? To index anything that sits still long enough. The result? A big, awful, frightening cached representation of each thing in existence and it's relative place to all other things. The semantic web is coming folks, and Google wants to build it and own it. August 2009 is nearing.

If you get a chance, you should check out the satirical "plan for world domination" on the giant whiteboard in the Googleplex. It's quite amusing.
