Now, if it's not part of Google Checkout, it won't show up. Buh! Froogle may have been lame as far as the name went, but it listed many more products than the new Product Search.

More proof that corporate hacks don't have a sense of humor or style. The name would have worked fine if they had actually invested any effort or money in promoting it.

Will certainly help them, since froogle looked like a fake copy of Google earlier when I heard about Froogle I thought that someone have copied Google like name and thenI I found that it's official site for product searches.

I thought foogle was a great name for the service. Before froogle I usually used pricewatch, but since froogle took off pricewatch hasn't been like it used to be. I liked froogle because I could usually find cheaper products than with most shopping based searches and I usually used google to find cheapest prices anyway. It is a great tool if you know how to use it and a lot faster than trying to just google it. I really don't see how someone can say froogle was useless, but then again "you have to smarter than the pen to use it effectively". From most of the above posts that I see most people did not know how to use the engine properly, I always found what I was looking for. Was wandering where my froogle went?

It's actually surprising with their marketing muscle that it has not been more of a challenger to the other shopping sites. I like the way Google is trying to integrate their business tools; hopefully, this will be another step in that direction. If Google will put more focus on this service, I’m all for the change.

Its well cool and its free, unlike some others I can mention where you get better placed by paying for it such as kelkoo etc makes it harder for those starting out with a limited budget.
