Back in January, I mentioned the potential of a universal gift registry as proposed by NCR (nyse: ncr), Google has picked up the ball and provided a net-wide wishlist based on their froogle product search. It was rather buggy when setting my wishlist up, but I expect they’ll have it worked out by next christmas ;). Now to implement this effectively as a registry, similar to amazon’s, and the rest is history. NCR’s stock, by the way, has nearly doubled since January… who listened and wants to buy me a terabyte with the profits? ;)
