Google Base

Google has just released a beta of Google Base, an online content database where anyone can upload content for sale or presentation or commentary- a combination of eBay, Craigs List, and Monster.com, with a special Google flavor. Philipp Lenssen has a good review at Google Blogoscoped

I put up 200 fine art prints for sale as a trial at base.google.com/base/a/davidsanger and it is taking a while to get them all processed. Nonetheless it is very promising as a new outlet for fine art prints and even stock photography in general. The search on keywords right now is very fast. Sample searches show colorful Indian posters or Golden Gate Bridge prints

Update: Just added all 6000 images to Google Base. We'll see if it takes them.

Also here's a Firefox Google Base search plugin.
