Google Base would let users submit information to a searchable Google database. In the Web pages, Google cites "description of your party planning service," "listing of your used car for sale," "articles on current events from your website" and "database of protein structures" as types of content that a user could submit. A separate Web page contains a form for entering information such as price, property type, and photos, presumably for listing real estate for rent or sale.
