Wow, it seems a lot of people use Froogle (Google's shopping search engine).
If you go to the Froogle homepage (http://froogle.google.com/) there's a list of recently entered search terms. Every time I refresh the entire list is different, even if I refresh right away. There must be a lot of people using Froogle.
Anyone here use it? Anyone bought anything they found on Froogle?

Well, yeah, I've read about Froogle about, ummmm.... four times. (lolz)

Heh.
I've known about it for a while, and I've searched a few things with it, but that was before they had the list of searches. Now it seems tons of people are using it.

it could be that it has a list of the most recent two hundred or so terms, and it just shows a random slice of that number?

I think froogle is interesting, but I've never used it.

I think you might be right. After hitting refresh enough times, I start to see some recurring searches.

i dont bother, nothing in froogle will ship outside the US for less than $999,999,999,000 :) just joking, the price starts at $999,999,999,001

plus my exchange rate is about 40c below the US

I did my Christmas shopping on Froogle.

I've had a play with it, but there's not enough UK sites on there, and the ability to select sites that will deliver to the UK was missing.

This is why I hate listings sites like Kelkoo, Sapivi etc. The majority of the results from a google search are listings sites all linking to the few sites that actually sell the goods. Even if you use google.co.uk, and select 'pages from the UK', listings sites still get listed, and then link to the USA or wherever. They actually make it harder to find stuff. Plus you can't create a google search long enough to exclude them all, only being allowed ten keywords.

Froogle could be a good idea, but what the Internet vending community needs to do first, is agree a common set of xml tags to describe products, so category, size, colour, price, description, etc all get presented the same way, so sites like Froogle can tabulate the info meaningfully.

Not a bad idea, why don't you draw up a standard? Froogle is in beta, and I'm pretty sure they plan to expand to include country specific searches in the future.

I froogle to see the lowest price that I can get on items. It serves as a good bargaining tool on eBay.

Then you might be interested in www.pricewatch.com too.

I don't buy anything, ever.

i bought my entire comp online at trademe , its the NZ equivalent of ebay

I don't buy anything, ever.
Erm, then how do you obtain... stuff. Donations? Beg, borrow... "borrow"? :p

FROOGLE IS THE W00TIEST THING EVER!!!!!!!!!

(P.S What's froole?)

that is the verb of 'froogle'. if anyone says otherwise they are lying...
e.g. are you a froole?
answer; yes. (from you)

and alpha: maybe he gets given it by happy forum members.
