Google Base: All your base are, in fact, belong to us

I couldn't help but make a joke with the title, because it's seemingly right on the money. You see, Google is getting ready to take the wraps off of a new service called Google Base. If it can be posted online, it would appear that they would, in fact, prefer it belong to them. At least, they'll store it for you and make it searchable.

Just what does Google have in mind? The last sentence there really speaks to what they're after: eBay, Craigslist, and classified ads.
