Leave it to Google

I love the Amazon Wish List, but unfortunately it only tracks things in Amazon (which, of course, is 90% of all manufactured goods in the cosmos, but that still leave another 10%).

Enter Google, which is beta testing an extension to its Froogle service, the Froogle Shopping List. Just sign in (with your e-mail address), and start identifying links to stuff you like on whatever web sites you can find. It serves as a shopping list of things you want to remember but don't want to buy just yet, but you can also ID certain items as "public" and turn it into a Wish List. Shiny!

Once I get it working, I plan on doing a bit of extended shopping listing.

***Dave tells us about a new service being tested over at Froogle, which is Google's search engine for finding crap you want to buy. It's the Froogle Shopping List and it allows you to build a list of all the crap you found through Froogle...
