The goal of this petition is to have Google\'s Product Search renamed to the former Froogle. Recently, Google changed the name from Froogle, saying: "We were a really young company, and I don\'t think we really understood the burden of a new brand," said Marissa Mayer, vice president of search products and user experience at Google. "I also think it was very hard to build awareness. Our product offering was very robust, but it will fare better with a Google Product Search name." I don\'t believe a name is going to make a different in how well something does, at least for Google. Froogle sounds so much like Google, and F and G are right next to each other in the alphabet. What other word sounds like "Oogle" Nothing, really. If Google wants to keep "Google Product Search" in the name, they should have it in smaller print, under Froogle, as the "Beta" is now. I come to you people, to sign this petition to persuade Google to change the too-formal name "Google Product Search" back to Froogle, one of the coolest names ever. Google, hear our cry, and quench our thirst. Thank you.

Froogle was way better. It was catchy and everyone knew what it was. Google Product Search just sounds boring and corporate.
