Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
To be honest I have no idea if this could be useful; UK Food Blog Silverbrow on Food alerted me to the fact that it was operational with a 'recipe' section. I am talking about Google Base.
Back in October Silverbrow mentioned that Google Base, an online area where you can upload data of any description, will have this pre-defined area. Today TechCrunch has a review and is less than complimentary stating that "This is not a very interesting application in its current form. It’s like a 1985 dBASE file with less functionality. It’s ugly. It’s centralized content with less functionality than ebay or craigslist."
You can search Google Base for recipes - like a normal search engine I guess - and add your own via a series of pre-defined boxes. These boxes start with main ingredient, cooking time and cuisine and then a series of user defined attributes. Labels and a description are next. You can add a image too.
The result is as shown in the image - this one is Gyros from International Food Lover. I don't really see the point. If you have a need to post recipes would you not have a blog of your own and if you do why duplicate an entry? Perhaps someone can enlighten me?

From some techie websites I read, people are getting excited about what it heralds, rather than the application itself. If I remember correctly, people were saying it was part of Google's movement to get as much information online, searchable and importantly, within its own database system. Examples of similar moves by the company would be Google Earth, Maps, Talk and more controversially, Google Print.
