Big News Shoppers
Twitter is making shopping a whole lot easier with their Buy button. On Wednesday, Twitter announced their recent partnership with ecommerce companies Shopify, Bigcommerce, and Demandware. This is big news for any retailer big or small that wants to sell to consumers via social media — retailers can use any of Twitter’s new partners to power its e-commerce offerings & use the Buy button to put their products on the site. This new installment also offers merchants access to Twitter product pages.
Nathan Hubbard, Twitter’s head of commerce, recently commented, “To date, we’ve been testing with a very small group of merchants to try and get a sense of what works, we’ve now broadened the number of merchants that can sell on Twitter from hundreds to millions.” Folks the Buy button is here to stay so make sure to not drive and buy.

Yelp for Your Neighbor…
People everywhere are counting down the days till the Yelp like service “Peeple” is up and running. What’s all the fuss about? Peeple is the service that allows users to assign reviews one-to five stars to people. Think about your old noisy neighbor, your ex, or basically anyone you’ve ever been in contact with, and being able to write a review about that person.
Also did we mention you CAN’T opt out, and you can’t delete bad or biased reviews. Once someone posts a review about you and it’s in the Peeple database, it’s there unless you violate the terms & conditions. Positive reviews are posted right away, and negative reviews are given a 48-hour window to dispute (Phew, sigh of relief). Peeple co-founder Julia Corday quotes “It’s feedback for you, so use it to your advantage!” Reviews for people are the future and we don’t want to say we told you so but, hmm we kind of did. Check out our thoughts on ratings here. (Source MSN)
