Yahoo! Shopping Launches Yahoo! Shoposphere This Morning

[mandy]

Yahoo adds Web 2.0  social networking features to Yahoo Shopping with launch of the new Yahoo Shoposphere ( http://shopping.yahoo.com/shoposphere/ ).  Shoposphere also offers integration with its recently introduced Yahoo! 360° feature

"Shoposphere"... This is where you can discover new, fun, and interesting products organized into "Pick Lists" by the Yahoo! Shopping community.

Pick Lists let you share the stuff you love and the stuff that matters to you with everyone or your friends... on the Shoposphere, throughout Yahoo! Shopping, by email, and even through RSS feeds.

Make a good one and it could even show up as one of the highest rated Pick Lists on the Shoposphere

What's in a Pick List?

  1. A catchy title to attract shoppers
  2. Your photo, if you want
  3. An intriguing description of why you selected these products
  4. A description of each product and why it's in your Pick List

A Pick List is just about the best way to share the products you love with others on Yahoo! Shopping. And see what others are raving about. It's an organized list of products that you select, describe, and then publish so others can benefit from your opinions and experiences.

Pick List Features

    * Organize your favorite products in lists
    * Share your opinions and know-how with the world
    * Keep track of your experience with every product
    * See the products others are raving about
    * Email your Pick Lists to friends

It doesn't do much for me.  Maybe if I was 17 again...
