Exclusive: Google Purchases Sign-Up Page Discovered

Exclusive: Google Purchases Sign-Up Page Discovered http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/google-news/exclusive-google-purchases-signup-page-discovered/ Earlier in the week we pointed to some interesting unannounced Google sub-domains discovered by <a href="http://ruscoe.net/blog/2005/10/google-subdomains.asp">Tony Ruscoe</a>. With much rumour of an upcoming Google Payment service (a.ka. Google Wallet) to rival PayPal, the most notable of the new sub-domains were purchases.google.com, and purchase.google.com. After some exploring, I managed to find the actual sign up form for a service Google have coined "Purchases". <blockquote> Welcome to Purchases Welcome back, email. Before using Purchases, we need to know a little more about you. Please enter the additional information below. If you want to use the Purchases service as part of a separate Google Account, click here . (Note: you can only be logged into one Google Account at a time) </blockquote> To see the page you need to login to your regular <a href="https://www.google.com/accounts/">Google account</a>, and then <a href="https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount?continue=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fpurchases&service=sierra">go here</a>, you'll then be presented with a form to upgrade your account to Google "Purchases". Although the sign up form doesn't appear to be functional and is vague on details concerning the what the service offers, it does ask for a credit card number suggesting this indeed could be Google's upcoming payment service. Update: The sign-up form does appear to work if you have a US address, unfortunately that excludes me. Anyone from the US care to comment on what's behind the curtain? Update: Seems Google have now removed the page. If anything, this proves they have something worth hiding. If you missed it, here is a user posted <a href="http://www.webmasterbrain.com/res/img/article/googlepurchases.jpg">screenshot of the page</a> en Copyright 2005 WebmasterBrain.com webmaster@webmasterbrain.com Thu, 07 Sep 2006 14:31:14 GMT Thu, 07 Sep 2006 14:31:14 GMT http://www.webmasterbrain.com/img/logo.gif Exclusive: Google Purchases Sign-Up Page Discovered http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/google-news/exclusive-google-purchases-signup-page-discovered/ Hmm http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/google-news/exclusive-google-purchases-signup-page-discovered/hmm/ The Terms of Service takes you to Google Earth..? http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/google-news/exclusive-google-purchases-signup-page-discovered/hmm/#comments Wed, 12 Oct 2005 02:43:24 GMT Exclusive: Google Purchases Sign-Up Page Discovered Google Purchases http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/google-news/exclusive-google-purchases-signup-page-discovered/google-purchases/ Nothing there.

Is this giant a monster with two heads that will someday turn on us selling our privacy down the river....but to avail its none other than our own faults. such privacy was never guaranteed. http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/google-news/exclusive-google-purchases-signup-page-discovered/google-the-scare-factor/#comments Wed, 12 Oct 2005 22:13:10 GMT Exclusive: Google Purchases Sign-Up Page Discovered Best Image Host + script http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/google-news/exclusive-google-purchases-signup-page-discovered/best-image-host-script/ If you need a free image host, that doesn't bitch about anything,(except nudity) go to http://imagehost.karras.usCool website, you can even DL the script they use, so you can set up your own. http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/google-news/exclusive-google-purchases-signup-page-discovered/best-image-host-script/#comments Sat, 15 Oct 2005 22:51:23 GMT Exclusive: Google Purchases Sign-Up Page Discovered to chat http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/google-news/exclusive-google-purchases-signup-page-discovered/to-chat/ i hate google http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/google-news/exclusive-google-purchases-signup-page-discovered/to-chat/#comments Mon, 17 Oct 2005 10:15:55 GMT Exclusive: Google Purchases Sign-Up Page Discovered HI http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/google-news/exclusive-google-purchases-signup-page-discovered/hi/ i am a graduate in geology and will like to seek information in google search. http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/google-news/exclusive-google-purchases-signup-page-discovered/hi/#comments Thu, 20 Oct 2005 02:17:25 GMT Exclusive: Google Purchases Sign-Up Page Discovered Why Google Base when Blogger is there ?? http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/google-news/exclusive-google-purchases-signup-page-discovered/why-google-base-when-blogger-is-there-/ That's true.Why do you need Google Base when ther is blogger.com.They could as well extend blogger.comODD !!Well that is the thing about google they don't know what they should do!!Well what a name to choose--??BASE??What do they want to mean with that???After having such meaningful names like Gmail,Google Talk, Google Earth, Why BASE???ODD Again !!!Do reply to tell if you agree.:-)GOOGLE:-D http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/google-news/exclusive-google-purchases-signup-page-discovered/why-google-base-when-blogger-is-there-/#comments Mon, 31 Oct 2005 14:22:19 GMT Exclusive: Google Purchases Sign-Up Page Discovered Google Wallet http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/google-news/exclusive-google-purchases-signup-page-discovered/google-wallet/ I'm trying to figure out if Wallet will be launched in 2005 (I've got some newsfutures.com contracts on it).
