Interesting, thanks for the heads up. I've heard of Froogle quite a while ago but never actually looked at it or anything, I guess I never got around to it. Could be a good way to purchase anime paraphenalia. Looks promising!

er... nasty! watch out for the hong kong imports, if you're using froogle for anime dvds.... because that's practically all there is.

If I didn't have CAA as my default home page I'd most likey have google. I'm always using google ^^; I was wondering what Froogle was but now I know and odds are I'm still not going to use google for much more then image searching.
"Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
and things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art; to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul."
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Well if I can find really rare games, guitars and anime for cheap I don't see why it would be pratical for me. I dunno....we'll see. I certainly like the name I guess.... -___-

> I wish Google had it's own e-mail

They're actually working on it. Everyone (including me) thought this was a joke, but it's not (they just picked the wrong day to announce it).

And Hotmail/Yahoo don't use ads already?
Hotmail is far worse -- it puts you through about 3 pages encouraging you to sign up for promotional garbage when you register...

That *is* a concern, but the searchability idea is very cool, though.
