The search engine giant Google (www.google.com) announced on December 17 a new Shopping List feature on its Froogle shopping search engine (www.google.com/shoppinglist). The new feature allows users to save information about products found on Froogle (www.froogle.com). A new Wish List feature allows users to share lists with family and friends. Shopping Lists are private, but Wish Lists are visible to anyone who searches for one’s email address on Froogle.
If one finds a product listing on Froogle one wants to save for future reference, one should click on "Add to list" and one'll be able to bring it up again quickly. One can add notes and sort products by price, title and the date they were added to the list. If one wants to share items on their list, one can create a Wish List that's accessible to others. One can also email the URL with their Wish List to others.
Froogle also announced it has launched Froogle DE in Germany at http://froogle.google.de. Merchants who wish to be included in Froogle DE are now invited to submit feeds for their German stores.
Froogle has also gone wireless. One must be subscribed to a wireless web service provider specifically tailored for mobile phones in order to use this service. To use Froogle on one’s cell phone, one must point their phone's browser to http://wml.froogle.com, enter their search terms in the box and select the "Search" button. Then one can use their phone's keypad arrows to scroll through the results.
