Google Base
October 27, 2005
Earlier this week, the Google Base site went live for a short period of time, but long enough for people to get screenshots and post them to Flickr and other locations.
Today, Google Base went live again, and it seemed to be for good. Now, less than 6 hours after it first went live, it is back down again. I noticed mid-afternoon that the main page was redirecting me to a login screen, asking for my Google account (Gmail).
When I logged in, I was redirected back to the same login screen. Thus began a never-ending loop that I couldn’t get out of.
Now it seems that the site is back down all together. Was it an overload of hits/requests on the server? Was it just not quite ready for prime time and pushed out the door early?
