Social Shopping

Become.com has just announced the launch of its new social shopping functionality, designed to give users a tightly-integrated shopping search. You research products to get the information you need and find where to go for the best prices.

I met Become.com CEO Michael Yang at the first Web 2.0 conference and we met again at this years Web 2.0 Summit and he told me they have attained profitability in just three years, nice going for a company in the service of helping consumers decide where and how to spend their hard earned money.

Vic hosts first Google CampFireOne

The web is better when it's social

Google get's it, the web is about people.

OpenSocial provides a common set of APIs for social applications across multiple websites. With standard JavaScript and HTML, developers can create apps that access a social network's friends and update feeds.

Hope they have a Google CampFireOne in NYC real soon....
