Google secretly tests free classified ads
Google has unintentionally provided a sneak peek at what appears to be a looming expansion into classified advertising — a free service that might antagonize some of the Internet search engine’s biggest customers, including online auctioneer eBay.
Screen shots of the experimental service, dubbed "Google Base," appeared on several Web sites Tuesday shortly after the legions of people who dissect the online search engine leader’s every move discovered a link to a page inviting people to list things such as a used car for sale, a party planning service, and current events.
Google confirmed the development of the service a few hours after taking down the link.
