    I voted for "Other", because it makes people wonder.  So later in life, when people ask me what I did with myself, I can say "I brought wonder into the lives of people."

     

    Also, I don't use product price search engines.

    Saying Google, then anything other than "search" or "maps", plus the word "BETA" is redundant.

    Yeah I have to say I don't use price engines that much. I get lazy and just order from the egg or tiger. Or when I ordered my watercooling I looked at the best shops and ordered the cheapest part from each. Looked my self though. I will be buying from petras from now on. I would rather pay a few bucks more and know the seller is a good one.

    true, whenever i use a price search engine i get some sketchy company that looks like it might either be a scam or collapse at any moment.

    I think the most important question is:

    What does ice (me) win for suggesting froogle and subsequently watching it climb to #1 status? haha -- obviously a SSD I am sure...

    I'm totally amazed folks use Google Products (formerly Froogle) at all.  Do you guys really like/use that service or do we have a few random readers stacking poll.  I've never, ever used it, personally.

     I use it in cooperation with a handful of the others that're listed there. I tend to use it more for the "odds n ends" type items -- its nice and comes up with usually pretty good results (brings up a lot of accessories that are related to the item being searched for)

    No, no, I don't have an opinion on it at all actually.  I never used it to any real degree.  I just don't think of it as all that popular but maybe that's misguided?

     I don't know if I'd call it popular persay but I am sure it gets plenty of hits -- mostly just because everyone knows the name GOOGLE I guess?

    What do you personally use for product price searching Davo, sir?
