This is some great market validation for the social shopping space. As co-founder of Wishpot, a personal and social shopping utility, I firmly believe we have barely scratched the surface of the opportunity and innovation for social shopping.

Old media need some internet expertise in several fields and it’s ready to acquire it by means similar to the two transactions discussed above.
