It's a frugal kind of Google
Google is arguably one of the best search engines available on the Net. Froogle is a money-saving version of Google. Type in the name of what you're looking for and find the best price. For better results, type in a specific make and model. For example, if you know you want to buy an Apple iPod MP3 player, type in "iPod". If you know you want the model with a 20GB hard drive, enter "iPod and 20GB" - omitting the quotation marks.

Froogle is also broken down into shopping categories. This is helpful when you are browsing for a specific item, but don't care what brand or model you get. Froogle isn't perfect yet, but it's a useful tool.

Yea...check out the Google Labs...there's some nifty stuff there, like the Google viewer, and Google compute, but if you're going to do the Google compute, I have an easier way...http://timlink.netfirms.com/folding.htm - produces basically the same results but runs the program completely in the background, no toolbar needed.

I am also a Google fan.

I use the Google toolbar. It has some helpful features like the page info button which shows similar pages to the one you are currently on or the Cached Snapshot of pages feature.
