Great post Linda….Love the application and business model. Seems natural for retailers to find engaging ways to incentivize peer to peer transactions! Excited to see what other technology Companies develop to support multi-channel retailing. E-commerce is dependent on new business models to drive customer acquisition + sales.

Very interesting widget.

I’m visiting the site for the first time and wondering why the conversation (such interesting) stopped all the sudden already two months ago?

I’d like to read more of your experiences about it.

Thanks for the tip, anyway!

It’s an innovative idea but the buying experience can be more secure as pointed out by others. Not sure if people would view it more as an Ad gimmick rather than an online store. However in the morphing landscape of online media, one may never know, it may just take off.

I think this is great, people will find themselves browing stores they would have otherwise not searched for. It opens up a store to a whole new group of buyers. Ill be interested to see how successful they are.

Interesting widget. It will take some time for it to evolve and consumers to get comfortable with it. I just don’t really see myself making an instant decision to add an item to a shopping cart from what is basically an on-line advertisement. But who knows, it might make sense for some in certain context.

Yes, I believe the widget’s design needs a security assurance and it should also have links to customer service information, in my opinion. I’d like to see a “visit regular site” escape door that takes you to the full site if that’s something the customer is more familiar with.

It seems like a great feature, yet i noticed that there is no “lock” for data security except in the credit card form screen. Wont it be better to inert the “security” badge throughout the whole procedure?
