code.google.com是个好东西

本来一直都没有留意到code.google.com，结果昨天中午有个朋友向我问到google map的问题（相关结果请看这里：BlogRoll），于是我就开始看了看google的api函数和相关的手册，然后做出了上面那个带有google map的blogroll。刚才再继续看了看google的code，发现更强大的还在后面，有兴趣的看看这里吧：http://code.google.com/apis/base/index.html

Google Base is a place where you can submit all kinds of content for Google to host and to make searchable online. You can describe any item you post with descriptive attributes, which can be labels or specific information about the good or service. The more attributes you associate with your items, the more different ways users can find them.

With the new Google Base data API, you can create specialized applications that handle such actions programmatically. Your application can upload new data, update or delete existing items, and execute specialized queries to find matches for complex attribute criteria.

The Google Base data API is compliant with the Google data API framework, which combines common XML-based syndication formats (Atom and RSS) with a feed-publishing system based on the Atom publishing protocol. The Google data API Developer’s Guide has more information about the protocol. You can perform queries, inserts, updates, and deletes with the Google Base data API, all of which, except for queries, require authentication at this time….

按照目前我粗浅的认识 ，通过google的base，我们似乎可以丢弃数据库了，将所有的数据都放在google服务器上，如果真这样的话，利用google稳定的服务器平台来搭建我们自己的数据库，那应该是相当的方便，继续研究中。不过从另外一方面我们可以看出，google在提供方便的同时也具有强大的野心，或许今后所有互联网的内容均来自google，那么这个时候google就可以一手遮天了。这些假设暂且不管，先看看google的base是不是和我想象的一样，如果真是，我今后完全可以不需要数据库了。另外如果你对这方面比较熟悉的话，欢迎提供意见和建议！
