searchengineland.com— Google admits Froogle was a dumb name for its shopping search engine and throws in the towel to call it Google Product Search four years after the product was launched.

Froogle was very creative if you ask me.. I totally agree. Frugal means to save money and shop smart, it compliments google great, the words seem like they were meant to be together
When it was Froogle, I could do a product search by Zip Code, and it would even show me a Google map of where the stores were that carried whatever I was looking for. I can't seem to find that feature now. Is it gone?

i have to wonder- is this evidence of Google "jumping the shark?" It seems like they have chosen the lowest common denominator over creativity.

Now that Ultimate has been used, I've been wondering what superlative they're going to use for the next batch of releases. "Super duper edition"? "
