Google’s new shopping tool
p2p news / p2pnet: Yup. It’s Christmas, and that’s an excuse for Google to unveil yet another ‘tool’.
This time it’s something that’s supposed to make it easier for consumers to consume or, “to map out their local trips to the mall,” as the Seattle Post-Intelligencer puts it.
"The feature, to be unveiled Tuesday at Google’s Froogle shopping site, will pinpoint the merchants selling a specific item within a designated ZIP code," it says. "Besides displaying a map showing all the local stores carrying the merchandise, Froogle also will list price differences."
Natch, "Froogle, a comparison shopping site that Google launched three years ago, will continue to give visitors the option to buy the merchandise online.
"Google receives a commission for the online referrals."
Say no more ; )
