Froogle Zen







Froogle Zen

Froogle Zen 05/02/2004 11:06 AM

BoingBoing reader Bobby points out that Froogle displays a list of recently-found things people have used the online service to successfully seek and buy. The resulting list is total funky Dada webzen that makes you want to refresh for hours. It's a little like those Target ads that smush together unlikely combinations of things one can buy at Target. So, just now -- pure poetry:

Fleece ferret hammock, golf balls, Kung-fu hamster.
Cheesecake, gas blower, belly button rings.
Barebone PC, donut maker, mouth guard.
Matrix sunglasses, cookie jar, stuffed monkey.
Zen alarm clock, hair bows.
Red dress, beef jerky, snake light.

Now Google May Have Lost The Froogle
Name Too...
07/23/2004 06:30 PM
It appears that Google has been having an awful lot of trouble lately with the names of its services and trademark issues. There was the company in the UK that complai ned they were using Gmail already when Google's Gmail came out. Then, there was the whole attack of the alien Googles thing earlier this month. Now, it turns out they have lost an attempt to take away the domain name Froogles from a guy who runs a shopping site there (which I imagine just had its traffic shoot through the roof, for all he complains about how troublesome this lawsuit is). Of course, Google runs a shopping site called Froogle. However, in this case, the challenge was whether or not the name Froogles was confusingly similar to Google (not Froogle). There's a pretty good reason for this. Froogles went online well before Froogle did, so if anyone has a claim it might be in the other direction. The fact that Froogles was not found to be confusingly similar to Google could open up the possibility of a reverse case where the owner of Froogles could claim that Froogle violates his own trademark. Yes, the lawyers are drooling. Of course, the most likely solution is that Google will end up paying off this guy and just buying the Froogles domain name to avoid all these other problems. In the meantime, it's a bit amusing that a Google search on Froogles doesn't have the Froogles.com site anywhere near the top (however, before the conspiracy theories start, Yahoo's search doesn't either).

AP: Amazon.com invades Google's turf with Silicon Valley startup.Seattle-based Amazon has dubbed its search startup "A9" and set up offices in Palo Alto, not far from Google's Mountain View headquarters. A9 hopes to launch in October with 30 employees and grow much larger as it develops a search engine that will be licensed to other Web sites, said spokeswoman Alison Diboll. [...] Unlike Google, A9 isn't trying to develop an all-purpose search engine that indexes billions of Web pages. Instead, the startup is focusing on a search engine sweet spot -- e-commerce.The article is very vague so it's hard to get a handle one exactly what A9 is, but it does sound a lot like Froogle, Google's shopping search engine.

Google's Overblown Froogle Controversy


Google's Overblown Froogle Controversy 06/09/2004 01:16 AM
It looks like some folks are making a big deal out of the fact that Google searches on certain terms put links to the Froogle comparison shopping engine at the top of the results list. It's unclear why this is suddenly an issue - as they've been doing this ever since they relaunched their site a few months ago. The links are pretty clearly separate from the actual search results (though, not as separate as the regular ads) and are mostly designed to take a guess at whether or not the user meant to search in Froogle. They do the same thing with Google News. If the search term recently appeared in a news story, they'll throw the Google News link at the top as well. This seems more helpful than "evil" as the article suggests.
