Where is Shopping 2.0?…

We’re a week past Black Friday 2006 and the big story is the lack of a Really Big Story, namely any growth in social shopping.  “Traditional” e-commerce seems to be plugging along just fine, though Marketing Vox notes “…C…

[...] As Om Malick stated in his post on Kaboodle “Say you are researching buying a 32-inch LCD television. You go to ten different websites, not to mention uber-comparison shopping sites like Shopping.com or Nextag. These sites give you a good over view of the best price. Often that information is not enough. You click, and go to say, J&R World, where you find all the information. If you are like me, then you essentially print out everything, and do the comparison and make your purchase. (Of course you can toggle between many different screens, and that’s not much fun.) Kaboodle does one better - it places all the “digital scraps�? on a single page, and allows you to add tags to that page. In other words, it lets you built a tiny personal shopping page. ” [...]

Kaboodle is very interesting for doing some specific product research. I can see this being quite handy when evaluating products from different sites like eBay and shopping.com. It works well for that. However, I prefer to do all of my bookmarking on one service. I was just researching new software products to make virtual covers and just created a tag dedicated to this research on blinklist. (link)

[...] First off, you will notice that in my title, I use the term, “Shopmarking.” Never heard of it? That’s because I just created the term and figured it would be a good term to use for services such as Kaboodle. There has been some discussion about Kaboodle and I have repeatedly seen the term, “Social Bookmarking” used when describing it. Yes, it is in a sense, Social Bookmarking, but I feel this term confuses the reader. Instead, I am calling it, “Social Shopmarking.” I feel this will help give a better first impression of what the service is to a reader, and hopefully other services may like this term! Now that I have that off my chest, what exactly is Kaboodle? Kaboodle is a service that will make your life a lot easier when it comes time to shopping on the internet and trying to pick that perfect item you are looking for. After reading TechCrunch’s and Om Malik’s thoughts about Kaboodle, I gave it a look and found it to be an excellent service that is definitely worth mentioning. [...]

The approach for new startup Kaboodle is pretty straightforward: surf around the web shopping and comparing prices and aggregating this content on a single page. By clicking on a link in your browser toolbar area and adding these various pages to a ma…

Won’t the folks over at Kanoodle be a bit peeved that Kaboodle is appropriating their trademark?

Kaboodle is indeed interesting. I like the way they make creating eCommerce Wishlist or Research List easy. But how is this different from say wists.com or BlinkList.com? (of which I am one of the geeks involved in the project). While wist.com and blinklist.com are not targeted to e-commerce - they offer much of what Kaboodle does plus much much more(except the ability to auto select the right image on Amazon and autofill text - Kaboodle handles this well). For example - I maintain my TO BUY list here on Blinklist. (link)
I can already “star” my favorite purchases, share these with friends, make certain items private and better yet - see how many other people are watching a certain item (so I can use the Wisdom of Crowds to make a better desicion). And BlinkList automatically creates a discovery page around the item - for example see here for a discovery page around the hit movie “Serenity”
(link) . For Kaboodle to be really useful - I’d like to see them incorporate some way where users can learn from each other to find the best deals. While it would not make me abandon del.icio.us or Blinklist - it would perhaps make me use Kaboodle for my christmas wishlist.

[...] Om Malik wrote a lengthy post on Kaboodle a few hours ago. In my opinion Manish Chandra and the rest of the team have done a great job rolling this out. They are talking to bloggers and mainstream press simultaneously, and the site is a textbook example of how to walk new users through how the service works. They’ve thought through launch strategy and usability in a very intelligent way.
