All good. I was incredibly impressed with Froogle. It's like all of
those comparison shopping sites without the sponsoring merchants, the
limited number of affiliated merchants, and the verticality of the
depth. Google, on the other hand, has no sponsoring merchants, is open
to all comers who want to be listed, and covers everything that is sold
(as far as I can tell).

There's plenty of room for growth and I imagine that that'll happen
before official rollout. I also noticed that http://www.froogle.com/ is
registered to Google, so I'd wager that Froogle is going to be something
separate from Google proper and probably not another tab. I don't know
for sure though.
