Bargain Shoppers Unite!
Hypothetically, if Google.com were the Mack Daddy, then clearly the newly launched beta of Froogle.com would be the Daddy Mack. In fact, if I may be so bold, Froogle just might be the Miggity Miggity Miggity Miggity Mack!
Now, you're probably wondering what the Hell I'm talking about... and rightfully so. Google, as you well know, is one of, if not THE best search engines out there. Froogle is the the newly spawned ecommerce search engine from said magnificent search engine.
Beta, Schmeta!
Though only in beta (a mostly functional, but not final, version of software for you non-geeks out there), Froogle produces some pretty good results. I already used it a couple of times this past holiday season. Saved me a couple of bucks, it did!
Their tagline is "All the world's products in one place." Just like Google, Froogle doesn't accept paid inclusions, so you're getting the most relevent results for your search. Eleventy thumbs up for this new Google product!
