Bunnybot Launches: Introducing the First ‘Buddy-Shopping’ Experience

San Francisco (Vocus) November 1, 2007

With online shopping set to hit new records this holiday season, many people will be shopping solo from their offices, cubicles and laptops, looking for that perfect gift. For those who love the social aspect of shopping, a new web experience, called Bunnybot, has arrived on the scene.

Bunnybot connects shoppers with millions of products and lets them instantly share items with their online buddies in an interactive chat window. Today, Bunnybot offers all the products available through Amazon.com and its thousands of Marketplace partners. Other popular retailers are planned.

“Bunnybot unifies shopping and instant messaging into a seamless experience, making it easy to explore ideas with friends or family, get a second opinion, or just have fun browsing gifts or essential items together — just as a group of friends would, in a shopping mall,” said Bunnybot founder Neill Kramer.

Bunnybot’s buddy-shopping experience features a patent-pending shopping window in which shoppers and their buddies can share and view merchandise while chatting. Bunnybot lets shoppers ask their friends and family those crucial questions before hitting the Buy button. Questions like: “have you tried this?”, “do you think he’ll like that?”, or “do you think it will look good on me?” With Bunnybot, you need never shop alone online again.

Getting started with Bunnybot is extremely easy. Create a Bunnybot user name, give Bunnybot your existing IM IDs (Bunnybot can work with AIM, Google Talk, MSN, and Yahoo!), and then start shopping. Bunnybot provides helpful tips and shopping suggestions. But the fun really starts when you invite your buddies to come along — Bunnybot knows which buddies are online, and any of them can be invited to go buddy-shopping with one click.

Bunnybot is ideal for cramming a quick shop into a lunch hour with an IM buddy, going shopping with a distant friend, or for a parent to shop for something with a far-flung student. Buddy shopping makes it much easier to find a gift for ‘hard-to-shop-for’ people like grandparents, aunts, uncles and siblings.

Even without a buddy, Bunnybot makes online shopping a simpler, more engaging experience. Bunnybot takes the scrolling out of shopping and provides fast access to price comparisons, user reviews and related products. The game-like experience encourages browsing as well as sharing, and Bunnybot provides fast access to product details, user reviews and comparable products.

About Bunnybot

With Bunnybot, you never have to shop online alone! Bunnybot was created to make online shopping a shared, entertaining experience. Based in California, the company was started by a small, virtual team of people with many years of experience in product design, product development and animation. Visit http://www.bunnybot.com.

Shopping.Com Launches Shop Widgets for Web Publishers, Leveraging Its Powerful API Solution

Shopping.Com Launches Shop Widgets for Web Publishers, Leveraging Its Powerful API Solution










Brisbane, CA (PRWEB) September 12, 2006

Shopping.com, the pioneer in online comparison shopping, announced today that it has launched Shop Widgets, customizable pre-built shopping modules that allow Web publishers to easily add a revenue source to their sites. The Shop Widgets program takes advantage of Shopping.com’s robust and powerful API solution, providing Web publishers an easy way to add shopping content such as online product reviews, product images and pricing to their sites.

Shopping.com offers Web publishers two options to add revenue generating shopping content to their sites. They can select the Shop Widgets program, which provides pre-built shopping modules that are easy to implement and manage. Web publishers with more technical ability can select the API program, which allows them to customize and reconfigure the Shopping.com catalog and search tools as needed.

“Our API and the Shop Widgets solution make it possible for anyone to add a money-making shopping feature to any Web site,” said Josh Silverman, general manager of Shopping.com. “The extensive product information — photos, pricing, comparison-shopping tools and reviews — encourage consumers to buy, since they can make more informed decisions about the products they want and need.”

Shop Widgets and the Shopping.com API help engage online consumers by offering a constantly updated and visually appealing way to shop online. Web publishers can choose to offer Shopping.com products based on a keyword or category that are targeted to a site’s content — for example, the publisher of a Web site about photography can add a Shop Widget that provides links to Shopping.com’s best-selling digital cameras and accessories. Web publishers are paid a revenue share based on traffic referred from their site.

API users have more flexibility when it comes to displaying the Shopping.com content on their sites, offering searches by keyword or category like Shop Widgets as well as refining results by attribute. This level of customization offers Web publishers the ability to integrate the Shopping.com content into their Web sites in unique ways.

“Whether Web publishers choose the Shop Widgets program or the API program, they’ll leverage the breadth and depth of our online shopping catalog, giving their site visitors access to thousands of top online retailers and millions of product and merchant reviews,” said Silverman. “This rich content brings site visitors back for repeat visits, and drives revenue.”

Web publishers can join the free Shop Widgets or API programs by visiting https://partners.shopping.com.
