Google Stirs Controversy With Froogle
(washingtonpost.com)
06/08/2004 10:02 PMwashingtonpost.com - Google has staked its reputation as the
Internet's premier search engine on delivering rapid, relevant search
results -- untouched by human hands -- that it says are based on
complex mathematical formulas and sophisticated technology.
Google's Overblown Froogle Controversy
Google's Overblown Froogle Controversy
06/09/2004 01:16 AMIt 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.

Now Google May Have Lost The Froogle
Name Too...
07/23/2004 06:30 PMIt 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).

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.
