Google Glitch Lets Porn Get Through
I thought that the following story would be of interest. A little hack in the new service allowed it to be spammed rather quickly.
A technology glitch temporarily turned Google’s new personal listings service, Google Base, into a vast, virtual red-light district earlier this week.
Some bystanders speculate that Google Base is intended to take the place of eBay and Craigslist (as previously mentioned). I heard another analysis that said Wikipedia is under threat too. The rate of Google’s expansion is by all means phenomenal.
