Images: Google Base--all that's fit to post

A basic Google Base search provides a listing of items with a thumbnail photo. It gives people options to easily refine a search.

By clicking on a search item, a person will find out more about the posting, including descriptions, photos and contact information.

This person has a pricey apartment for rent. The listing includes a photo gallery to show off the unit.

Google provides a tool to let people input the information they want to share. It even includes a map--a Google map, of course.

People who list items can track them on a personalized management page.
