Yardsellr: The social p2p shopping platform

web 2.0

Yardsellr is a new site designed to connect buyers and sellers through facebook and twitter. There are different blocks (yardsale metaphor) that users browse, divided up by category and interests. Users can comment on and like a block, which will add it to their news feed (like if you “like” a page). This will push the newest products in that block to your feed, the frequency of things showing up obviously based on the level of the users’ interactions with those products and blocks. This is similar to what HauteLook is doing, except it is an entire person to person shopping platform, as opposed to just one business to consumer style vendor. 

Web 2.0 makes total sense for ecommerce because people are more inclined to buy things their friends recommend and engage in etc, but what about for publishers? This trend of services becoming more and more social, integrating more deeply into the stream is completely emerging right now. It’ll be interesting to see what direction it is really going to take off for publishers. My thinking is a completely social flipboard type thing, where you can see all the things your friends recommend/retweet etc, more clearly as its own entity.

The focus of the survey was two-fold: to determine the impact of mobile marketing in email and web marketing programs; and, identifying the importance and impact of social networks in relation to their email and web marketing efforts. The end result, according to eROI, was a better understanding of how marketers were using email, mobile and social, but also new ideas for better planning for and intergration of the available opportunities.(via Flowtown)

photo Mashable has procured documents about the release of an official Tweet Button— the first of its kind produced in house, by Twitter. The customary retweet button that has found its way onto most publications on the web was developed by Tweetmeme, a company which aggregates all the popular links on Twitter, determining the most popular, sorting it by category and relevance. We hope that Twitter isn’t torpedoing this service, but instead the two are combining their powers for good to better sort Twitter’s ever expanding content. Another oddity of this story is the fact that all of the images Mashable uses have a note on the bottom saying that they’re confidential and subject to a non-disclosure agreement. I’m curious what the agreement may have been, allowing the release of this information, yet not removing the NDA caption on the screenshots.
