Froogle has been renamed “Google Product Searchâ€, thus the name Froogle as a Google brand ends now
Froogle is dead, but Google Base is alive and well! We have had a number of large $2000+ sales directly attributed to our Google Base [Froogle] listings.
Dear Froogle Merchant, We'd like you to know that, as part of our ongoing efforts to improve the user search experience, we've updated the Froogle interface and moved it to http://www.google.com/products ..... Here is an email come from Google. I don't think google will give it up, but seems google pay not enough work on froogle.
I dont think they will close froogle . They will add certain more features and froogle can be huge anytime. Rite now its working fine
Way to bump an old thread! But anyway, no - Google Product Search is not disappearing. They just changed the name to Google Product Search, that's all.
Froogle has been renamed “Google Product Search†says Marissa Mayer, Google’s VP of Search & User Experience. It also sports a redesign, and product results are now returned at the top of normal Google search results at appropriate times. Thus ends the name Froogle as a Google brand. It was launched in 2002, never really went anywhere, and was unceremoniously dumped from the Google home page last year in favor of video search. Traffic to the site fell dramatically. Danny Sullivan has a good long writeup of the new service. Froogle (the brand) is now in the TechCrunch DeadPool.
