There have been no public announcements yet, but Froogle is on it's way to the UK. As a retailer, I've received the information for submitting feeds this morning. I guess this is probably 2 to 4 weeks in advance of the launch.

If you haven't seen it before, it lets you put a product in to Google and it returns a list of online retailers, product photos and prices.

El_Goorf, I don't think it related to feeding you

Similar to Dealtime and Kelkoo you mean? Would be good to have another option. Out of interest, while we are on the subject, does anyone know how to order by price on Kelkoo? Dealtime is straightforward and better for more techy hardware, but no so much content.

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

Very similar, but open to a wider audience of retailer. I, for example, run an online shp, and it's just me and my missus. I can submit my product feed to Google, and update it any time. Kelkoo / Pricerunner etc only show the bigger suppliers, and a limited range of products. Froogle will allow you to search for anything.
