I have been banging my head against the Google Base API and have failed to get anything useful to happen at all. I don't suppose that anyone has a Net::Google::Base ready to release to the world?
When Google Base was released it seemed like a very interesting way to consolidate much of the web's structured information into one place, but I haven't seen Google Base results in the main search results yet. Hey, it's not even listed on the Google Services page.
Tonight I'm off to the Google London Open Source Jam 2. The last few jams have been really fun: lightning talks, interesting people, a little open source hacking and pizza. The theme this time around is everything to do with Linux and there are still a few places left on the guest list...
Not sure if it'll help, but Yahoo Pipes apparently has a component to access it.
