Quote:The “social shopping” site (get it, social-networking-meets-shopping?) ThisNext has launched a Twittervision-like feature that leverages Google Maps and allows visitors to view what people are shopping for and buying around the world...Now if someone could just marry this with a live shopping cart/bidding feature, we might be looking at the next big online retail success story

Social shopping doesn't excite me and knowing that someone in East Bumblefuck is buying/looking at a product wouldn't influence my purchasing decision.    That said, the world is full of complete fucktards who would be influenced by (or have a wet dream because) knowing that some boinktard in East Bumblefuck looked at a product.  Hope this helps.

I suspect that the primary customers for this type of shopping would be terminally dumb adolescents.
