Social Shopping
Important is the social aspect to shopping, especially for the female gender. We’ve seen social networking sites become huge… Myspace and Facebook are amongst the two most popular that I have actually used. But what about adding shopping to that. Well thats the business plan for Yub.com, which was produced/bought by Buy.com. Pete Cashmore calls it the “MySpace for Shopping” in a recent blog post on his Mashable site. For a community incentive to particpate there is even a revenue sharing model. You share your thoughts on products, etc and people can “Buy though you”- thats where you would get some of the revenue. Overall, an interesting concept, however, they only list a set of stores, and set it up as a virtual mall (which is a fitting idea, you can even browse in 3d). Although the list of stores is growning, there are still many more e-tailers out there not listed.
What if you combine social shopping and comparison shopping… And throw revenue sharing in there too? Feel free to Contact us or leave a comment on this if you are interested in working on a web 2.0 project with this concept.
