In our January 9, 2006 TechnoPoll, we asked you: In your opinion, what is Google's weakest offshoot service?
The results are in, and the loser is ... Froogle, Google's shopping and price comparison search tool. Froogle garnered 22% of the votes. A number of other services also received a fair number of votes, including Orkut (14.5%), Google Talk (9.7%), and Picasa (8.1%).
I voted for Google Local Search, which received 6.5% of the vote. I used to like Google Local Search until Google enlarged the map it places on every page. Now I much prefer Yahoo! Local Search, which provides more space for the listings and loads faster. Plus, Yahoo! Local Search has never let me down — it has helped me with everything from finding a good car service to the airport to finding a parking garage near the location of our recent BlawgWorld launch party.
