Froogle

Froogle ( http://froogle.google.com/ ) is the new product finder from
Google, and out of curosity I told it to search for REBOL. This
turned up mostly books, with the only one I didn't know of being "XML
Processing with Perl, Python, and PHP". (The REBOL hit being because
The last part of the book offers a chapter each on four other
scripting languages: REBOL, Ruby, Tcl, and AppleScript.
)
View or Command didn't seem to turn up when searching just for
REBOL
, but did if the search was for "REBOL View" or "REBOL
Command". "REBOL IOS" wasn't found though. (Well, except for A
mention with an OS-News t-shirt.)
Froogle I suspect is going to change how people buy stuff from the
Net, so making your products Froogle-friendly, (so price, picture and
products match), is a new art that may need to be learnt.

Good pointer!
To get into Froogle for sure, you need to provide them with a "data feed" --
basically a CSV file (not even XML!) with details of your products. The last
I remember, they were only accepting US-based organizations (so prices in
USD), but that may have changed.

According to the link below, that's still the case, though it only
applies to data-feeds. Search for "Watties" for instance, to see
Australasian sites listed. I can also put NZ sites on the first page
by including a "co.nz". For example" "co.nz palm pda". Results are
a bit generic though, and prices may not match pictures or comments.
