| Add your Virtuemart Products to Froogle |

I'm very careful about recommending products on this blog, plugging only about 10% of the stuff that gets sent. Thats mainly because so many developers harvest email addresses and send out a mass mailing. Just a two-line, personalised message and a sample of the product is enough to get my interest.
It also helps if something comes from a friend who doesn't know you're going to give them a mention.
Today, I got a very pleasant surprise from Ian from NewWorldDesigns.co.uk, who've worked with for a long time. His first commercial product came out today and its a great start - its a RSS Feeder for Virtuemart. It allows you to submit a feed of all your products to Google's shopping search engine. It works out of the box and without any hacks. Its simple to set up and the demonstration video gives you a good idea of what it can do.
So, no affiliate links, no paid posting, just a recommendation. Its a good product.

Thanks for the great words there Steve and Judy.
When i started the project, Google called that part of their site Froogle, but by the time i finished, it had changed name to Google base, so i think I'm just going to call it an RSS Feed, in case they change the name again But keep an eye out on this project, as I'm already looking at the Google API, so it will be a direct feed straight into Google base Thanks again Ian www.newworlddesigns.co.uk written by virtuvės baldai, July 22, 2007
I have some products in froogle but if anyone want to sell something it needs a lot of money used in adwords. so I can say tha froogle it wothless itself

I know Ian and I have to say it's a fantastic, much needed utility.
Bit late but, well done!

Will this feeder work for other sites besides Google products as well?

Thanks for highlighting the VM extension. I will be able to put it into good use for my client.
