I mostly use pricegrabber, but occasionally check froogle.

Funny because I actually used Froogle for finding something recently. I almost always use Amazon because I get good service, no taxes and free shipping. Then I went to buy something from them that was actually being sold through Amazon but coming from somewhere else…taxes and shipping this time. Went to Froogle, found the same item for less, no taxes, did have to pay shipping but it was still lower than the original Amazon listed price.

â€œThe only thing missing from the online retailing equation is â€˜Do they have what I want,â€™ â€ Mr. Cohen said. â€œBut putting inventory on the Web, by store location, means now all of a sudden I have that final piece of the puzzle.â€

There is a reason why this is the only thing missing. Maintaining accurate inventory numbers across hundreds or thousands of retail locations is surprisingly hard for more retailers than you would think. Hopefully retailers that are currently feeding Froogle inventory by location are updating daily and with some level of conservative imprecision.

Froogle will not be important as long as Google is ignoring Europe. But hey, why are we allways talking about “[..] will be the next [..]” like it’s gonna happen tomorrow? Maybe in six years we will look back and say “hey, the day [..] launched [..] was an important moment in internet history”.

Didn’t one or two of those kids interviewed at Web 2.0 say they used Froogle? I mostly use pricegrabber, but occasionally check froogle.

Overall I usually just buy from Amazon, lowest price be damned.

Actually, I’ve used Froogle once to locate a nice map of Mordor, but that’s about it. Its sources seem just a tad too unreliable. Regarding Base, well, it’s a mess. I don’t see any immediate threat or advantage Base could pose/possess (I knew I’d have to end that sentence awkwardly like that).

I use Froogle every time I buy electronics or other high priced items. I just bought a digital camera last week from a site I found through Froogle. Maybe it’s trying to be too much, but I’ve definitely found it useful for certain purchases.

Good rant, Mike. I’ve also been wondering about what the fuss was about with Google Base. It seems like half a service. Sure, you can upload database entries, but what for? Why not host that database on your own site, serve your own ads and wait for the Googlebots to spider it anyway? I think most of the Base boosters have been imposing their own world-killing wishlist of high concepts on what is in reality a different service than they want it to be.

On a Tinfinger note, I’m glad to click through on “people profiles” and see wall to wall pr0n spam. I don’t think we have anything to worry about from Google Base.
