So last night I was surfing around on the Iphone looking for a new SLR digi camera.

I went to google shopping (base) to have a looky…

So what was wrong?

I was on google.co.uk and the prices all came up in GBP £ fine…

I then clicked option to set and price range for what I was willing to send and so what’s on offer. The options  menu only give me prices ranges in USD $ ?

Odd.. Any I clicked on one to see if it would work and maybe some sort of cache. Google then pull in the USD range but output the GBP £ range..

Here is the iphone screen shot showing URL .co.uk/m with both USD $ and GBP £ showing on the results page.

I got invited last week to attend a meeting regarding the usability of google base.
So today I popped down to google’s London office to have a look around and “Attempt” to discuss my problems with base and froogle alike..
Was a cool office with a very relaxed atmosphere… The trolleys with chocolate and drinks.. The funky furniture and inspiring projections on the walls like google earth..

I saw all the doodle for google posters (there are real )

More info coming soon..

I was asked to approval of any blog post regarding the meet up which is cool.. And most likely blog it up after xmas.. 
Cheers to Clay, Product Manager of google base..

Didn’t take any photo’s .. Maybe next time

From google base blog.. what happened in the year..

Nice to see the uk mentioned as always

Sites like Job Central, a national non-profit labor exchange, already are using the Google Base data API to include job listings from Google Base in their search results. Find a convertible car 4sale leads buyers to, yes, convertibles in Google Base, and plots their location on Google Maps

- Surfacing some Google Base results on Google when people are looking for items like used cars or pumpkin recipes

- Releasing such features as a rich text editor, reporting for clicks and impressions, and integration with Google Checkout and Google AdWords so that data providers can easily upload and manage their content and drive traffic

- Launching Google Base in the UK and Germany, so that people in these countries have a simple way to upload their data to Google
