Discussion on social shopping

August 14, 2009 at 16:21 · Filed under events

Everyone prepare – that is use the recommended socialsoftwares – and participate in the discussion.

Since its shopping we’re talking about, it will be a focus on the first part of a shopping experience we will look to, like browsing, comparing, exploring, scrutinizing of objects, traces of others, sharing of comments, overall delight in shopping experience etc, not the actual purchasing part. (That is unless you personally  actually want to.)

The sites are as follows:

• etsy.com

• amazon.com/uk

• ebay.com/uk

• kaboodle.com

• justbought.it
