e-commerce 3.0: go shopping online with friends
Thursday, May 28th, 2009I am involved with a team of senior-level people interested in starting a company. We’ve been going through some brainstorming about common problems that can be solved with technology and trends that will probably take on a life of their own.
One of the trends involves the confluence of 3D graphics and 3D worlds [think SecondLife], gaming, and shopping [whether for clothing, electronics, day camps or vacation spots].
What are your thoughts?
Will e-commerce 3.0 (or 4.0) be a 3D environment where you troll the aisles, pickup and view all sides of a product?
Will it include communities where you meet your friends to shop together?
Will we try on clothes to see if they (really, based on measurements) fit?
Will we watch people play blackjack so we can learn?
If you are a fan:
When do you think people will be ready for this? What application is most appealing and would get your stickiness? [tell us your age, gender and country...we're not setting cookies!]
