Google is playing again. Google Base, a free, online database, will be announced at their Zeitgeist conference today.

Play, play, play. That's how the company seems to be coming up with new ideas. I wonder how management sorts through them to find the good stuff they think will help build profits?

UPDATE II: Google responds to the rumors:

You may have seen stories today reporting on a new product that we're testing, and speculating about our plans. Here's what's really going on. We are testing a new way for content owners to submit their content to Google, which we hope will complement existing methods such as our web crawl and Google Sitemaps. We think it's an exciting product, and we'll let you know when there's more news.
