From John Battelle's Searchblog:
Word is ripping around the web that Google is testing a new subdomain called base.google.com. A screen shot – the site has been up and down – shows a Google database of sorts where you can "Post your items on Google." It's a tagged database of stuff that heads directly into the world of Paul Ford's classic "Google Takes All" essay.
Apparently this will be debuted at Google's invite only Zeitgeist conference today. Philipp has more.
