New Price Search tool from Google! (froogle)

[bdubya]

Just read about this at News.com It's only in Beta, but looks promising for low price seaches, and price matching.

http://froogle.google.com/

Check it out!

wow, that's pretty neat.

Looks pretty cool. Can't sort the results (by price for instance)? That's crap.

Yeah, glad it's only a beta. Looking for the 'fur real kitty', I typed a search on the text:

"fur real"

Take a look at the bottom link on the second page.

You can really tell its a beta once you start using it. I am sure once they build in more funcationality it will be the best price comparison site out there!

Earlier discussion over in OT about it. Has some more opinions and info.

Wow, google just keeps on getting better.

 

[BentValve]

Wow Froogle is catching some really good bargains, check this out!

yep

 

[BentValve]

Another steal of a deal!

 

[Walliser]

Bentvalve, do you by any chance know the exchange rate for Australian $ to US$?

 

[Walliser]

Boonerebel: I agree with you, I am glad this thing is only beta. Got a good laugh out of the "fur real" search though...

I only hope that th performance will improve. While I like pricewatch.com I would appreciate another site, I have yet to find anything like pricewatch.com.
Looking forward to the final, hopefully finetuned version.

WOW ... google just keeps gettin' better... i thought the news thing was cool (of course in addition to the search engine), and now prices..great !!

Man, I hope those Google bozos don't buy Pricewatch and then shut the site down like they did with deja. Remember the year Google took Usenet away?

I don't care for the Froogle so far anyways. I know Google has a history of making things nice and fast, but the current price search engines are already plenty fast enough, and have a much better layout.

Personally I prefer www.pricegrabber.com
