Show HN: Social Shopping
Hey there HNers,
First of all, apologies for the shameless "self-promotion" - just felt like sharing :-)
I've just launched a very simple project on the e-commerce front and although I'm currently involved in a few "bigger and bolder" projects, decided to give this a go. It's a DIY e-commerce tool that allows people to setup stores on Facebook, for free. We started this project as a weekend hackathon to help a friend bring her products online and decided to turn it into a product, so there's still definitely a lot to be done.
Apart from showing off, this thread is here to start a discussion around the social commerce market: what is your take around the market/concept? Thoughts? Predictions?
Comments, observations and even blunt criticism on my little pet project are also most welcome!
ps.: yes, I'm looking for cofounders, investors, partners, designers and everything!
ps2.: almost forgot - if anyone's interested on checking out the app, the beta is on http://getnovelo.com
- pbreit 15y agoI am currently bearish on social shopping. Lots of people actually do not like to buy and sell from friends. And ultimately, you usually want as wide an audience as possible. However, I think Facebook and Twitter will continue to be important channels for gaining exposure and engaging with customers. Regarding Novelo, the Facebook page is pretty much empty so I am not sure what the service does or how it works. I am unlikely to add the app without any information. back at you on the plug: pricetack.com falling price marketplace
- herval 15y agothanks for the feedback :-) Is pricetack yours? Interesting concept indeed...
- herval 15y agocobbled together a quick "what's this" page and added there as a tab - that, by the way, proved itself an incredibly difficult task, as there don't seem to be any facebook app to do just that. Wow!
