Casual Articles - Google's Next Step: Are Print Mail Order Catalogs Dead?
Think you have the speed, endurance, and know-how to fix what’s broken? Bet not. The smartest people in the world are those who can leave their ego at the door, and know when its wise to seek help.Since crashes are usually preventable, when is it a good time to seek professional assistance…before or after the disaster? Talk to local firehouse or police headquarters and they
So, this service goes way beyond searching catalogs with only the "As Seen On TV" gadgets, and gets into some serious niche product information.
Back before the Internet, search engines, and online research, catalogs actually represented an inexpensive way for vendors to publish product information targeting a niche audience.
It makes perfect sense that the Web's largest search engine should start cataloging catalogs and combine print publications with online search.

"Values are the bedrock of any corporate culture. As the essence of a company's philosophy for achieving success, values provide a sense of common direction for all employees and guidelines for day-to-day behavior...often companies succeed because their employees can identify, embrace, and act on the values of the organization." — Terrence Deal and Allan Kennedy, Corporate Cultures: The Rites a
Not withstanding the hernia I get from carrying them to the house, or the three acres of rainforest timber it took to print them, holiday catalogs provide a never-ending opportunity to look at stuff I don't want to buy.
Unfortunately, when I do finally decide what I want to buy for those on my holiday shopping list, I find the one catalog I need mysteriously absent from the 6-foot stack.
Fortunately, a new service at Google makes hunting through catalogs to find the perfect gift for yourself or others an absolute breeze.
Log on to http://catalogs.google.com/ and test out Google's latest offering in an attempt to organize all information on the planet.
At the time of this writing, Google's database of catalogs boasts over 6,000 catalogs covering everything from golf to music to footwear.
The index allows you to browse catalog content either by entering keywords in a search box, or choosing categories in their directory-style listings.
If you want the latest L.L. Bean or Harry and David catalog (or any other), you can perform a search for a specific catalog by name.
If Google doesn't carry a specific catalog, you can click the "Help Google Add More Catalogs" link on the main page of the catalogs directory to suggest they take a look at it.
I personally think Google is very serious about developing this service because they do something here I've never seen them do before: they provide a physical mailing address and invite you to actually "snail mail" them a catalog you want added.
I decided to put the service to the ultimate test by searching for what, at least for me, represents the ultimate catalog purchase from 2003: the singing trout (a.k.a. the "Boogie Bass")!
If they could find that honey of a holiday gift, the service gets my seal of approval.
Of course, in a nanosecond, Google found it in multiple catalogs along with such holiday gems as the "singing fish" and the "TV Caddy."
On a serious note, a search for "Ford F250 accessories" yielded some very helpful information on catalogs where I can get parts and goodies for my truck.

The only drawback to Google's new catalog browser is that you can't circle the items you really want (writing on your monitor tends to damage it) and then strategically leave the catalog where Santa (or your wife) can conveniently find it and catch a clue as to your greatest wish.
But, you can always send Santa a web link to the items on your list!
