Ok, ya GOTTA see this! The newest alternative to Ebay called RadicalBuy.com. But that’s not the best part, Ohhhh Nooooo.
The folks at RadBuy have worked out a deal with the good people at Facebook.com, a leading social networking site, to tie the two together! Now you can list, refer, and buy all from within Facebook!
Now we’re getting somewhere. Just like VisiCalc was a killer app and web browsers became killer apps, Facebook is now migrating into a new killer app. No longer is it only for keeping in touch with friends, it is now becoming a platform for eCommerce. Just think how your shopping habits will be effected when they tie in your moods, schools, employers, etc to filter and “suggest” products you might be interested in. For instance, it’s a reasonably good bet that if you live in the Dallas area you might be a Cowboys, Mavs, or Stars fan. Now filter NFL, NBA, and NHL products to put those teams on top! How about your favorite college, even high school teams? Where else could it go?
Mark Cuban has a great article about this topic on his blog, Blog Maverick.
So what does all this mean? I’m not really sure yet… but I bet it will be fun to find out!
