Google Launches Froogle

from the controlling-everything dept

At Supernova earlier this week, Sergey Brin said that, basically, Google just wanted to be able to search anything and everything they could. They keep expanding that universe. The latest is the new beta test of an online shopping site that will search merchant sites for the products you're looking for. You can even limit your searches to certain price ranges. It's certainly not as feature-packed as some of the other shopping comparison sites, but in some ways, it's much more usable (in a way that Google seems to have perfected). The site itself is called Froogle. Yet more evidence of how Google is taking over the world.

    This looks great! I hope Google does not venture into searching MP3 and videos. No prize for guessing; they do not want to piss off folks at hollywood. Do they?
