Product #1: Boughtstuff!

It's out! I'm writing to debut a web service in "alpha" we've just put live named boughtstuff.com -- social spending in style!

If you want to check out boughtstuff.com all you need is a Twitter login. The concept behind it is really simple: you share with your Twitter followers what you've bought and along with a picture and some more data, and watch the conversation around that item. You can also "like" things other people buy and link them to your shelf.

All we want to do with Boughtstuff is to make it easy to discover gadgets, things, good food, and anything that has a price tag that you can buy from somewhere. If you're a collector, we want to see your collection on boughtstuff.com; as a gadget freak, congregate with other gadget freaks and hold conversations around particular items; for car enthusiasts, musicians, artists, and generally anybody that buys or sells stuff, we offer a shelf where you can showcase items you own.

This is currently in alpha state -- we're still adding more features that we think might be useful. One thing we're playing around with in our heads is creating a link to the item on Amazon or other online retailers to make it easy to buy the item. Another thing we're looking at is doing tie-ups with retailers or device manufacturers to drive traffic to their products in the form of promotions and discounts in case you came to the item from boughtstuff.com.

If you'd like to see features in boughtstuff.com please feel free to email "me at deanberris.com" -- we're also currently trying to raise funding to get boughtstuff.com to a state where it can handle more users, and eventually make more money with it.

We'd love to see your stuff on boughtstuff.com -- we hope you like it and support us as we keep making it better!
