froogle

But along with that the older version of Scratch, a very cool open sourced game called froogle.

Relative to froogle bountii does a much better job of sticking to results that actually matter (froogle had a nice price for a plasma in Yorkshire and for one that didn't turn on).

Otherwise it's no different than a froogle.com or something similar and would have difficulty competing.

Bountii is much more powerful than Froogle & Bing because prices aren't just X in one store and Y in another store.

I know froogle doesn't, but proper disambiguation seems like it could be a killer feature if done right.

Also, Froogle is a definite eBay competitor, and Google lists brand new products, too.

Google's change to have Froogle only search paid product placement is cheesy.

Thoughts: Bing shopping is much better than Froogle ever was.

When froogle renamed itself to google.com/products, I pretty much stopped using it.

At least with Froogle you can find parts.

I also told him that he has to type some magic incantations to get them installed: "sudo apt-get install froogle" and he kind of loves it (and then forgets it right away...

It reminds me of an anecdote from Steven Levy's "In the Plex" on a sneaker wearing gnome that was inexplicably making a mockery of Froogle results: > But one problem was so glaring that the team wasn’t comfortable releasing Froogle: when the query “running shoes” was typed in, the top result was a garden gnome sculpture that happened to be wearing sneakers.

Froogle's been continually updated, even if it's not very good it appears to be as good as comparable products.

There's also Froogle, Google Notebook, Blog search, Google Video and there's still no way to delete a GAE app...

It's car parts for people who use price engines like Froogle, not for car enthusiasts.
