I think I linked to fTrain's speculative article on Google and the Semantic Web a few months ago; now, one of the things discussed in the article has emerged in beta form as Google launches a shopping site of sorts: Froogle. Of course, it only took the wags in MeFi comment threads less than thirty minutes to realize that one of the fun things to do with Froogle is see how much you're worth.

Is it any good? For an ongoing collection of pro/con commentary on Froogle, check out this thread on marketingfix.
