Google Feed Change June 30th

[ryanb4614]

is this going to affect the current feed available for downloading in the zen-cart mod section? Is there a way to get the products to show on the feed automatically as "new" since many of our products sold in e stores are new... Thanks!
Here is the letter I received from google:

Hello,

We'd like to let you know about an important change we're making to the Product Search data feed requirements. As you know, you can help shoppers find your products by including high quality, frequently updated product information in the form of attributes. In order to provide shoppers with the most useful information, we'll be making the "condition" attribute required starting on June 30th, 2009.

In order to keep your feeds active past this date, please remember to include the "condition" attribute for all of your items if you're not already doing so. Please include one of three values to describe your product: new, used, or refurbished.

For more information on formatting the condition attribute, please visit http://base.google.com/support/bin/a...&answer=148684

In addition to making the "condition" attribute required, we've made some other changes to our attributes:

Recommended: "product type"
The "product type" attribute allows you to specify a product category for each item. We recommend that you use our product taxonomy, however, you are welcome to use your own categories. For more information, please visit: http://base.google.com/support/bin/a...n&answer=66818

New: "compatible with"
The new "compatible with" allows you to specify what products your item is compatible with. For instance, if you're listing an HP 74 (CB335WN) black ink cartridge, you can use this attribute to tell us that it's compatible with the HP Photosmart C4480 and HP Photosmart C4580 printers. Using this attribute will help you avoid listing the same item multiple times with different compatibility information. For more information, please visit

Sincerely,

The Google Product Search Team

In short, no.

The existing feed mod is compatible with the future changes and already outputs the required 'condition'
