Google Checkout

It's finally out. Many people had speculated on some sort of payment method from Google. Some had even predicted it as GBuy. But it finally turned out to be Google Checkout.

It's pretty neat. For once I can say Google has come out with a revenue generating service. While GMail and other such services are seen as services, it now appears that those are services with a secret channel to Google Checkout.

Google now has all it takes to make every Tom, Dick and Karthik to start their own online ventures. Let us see how one can start an online venture in a few minutes.

First signup for Google Checkout. Then use Google pages to create ur own webpage with some inventory listed and then drop in some code that Google Checkout generates to create an online shopping website.

Here's my page. If anyone is interested go ahead and buy it using Google Checkout.
