Google Base/Labs

Google Base is very clean and easy-to-use. Item postings are clearly broken down: recipes, events, housing, vehicles, products, services etc. with many search fields to choose from. With all the postings you can see what site it was pulled from to be on Google (just like any other search) and a thumbnail picture of it looks like to the left of the posting.

Google Labs is crazy. My friend from high school works for Google. They have hundreds (if not thousands) of web engineers developing these different sites/applications. It is cool to see what applications ‘graduated.’ I wonder how many people actually send them feedback to improve the Beta versions. It is like a free focus-group.
