New Facebook Social Shopping Application by SecretPrices
The new My Shopping application for Facebook has been getting a lot of attention lately and I felt compelled to at least mention it on our blog. I am one of the users who welcomes time saving applications for shopping purposes and we have also recently added SecretPrices to our Product Listing Guide, so really there is more than one reason for us to post about the new app.
This new shopping application is a great way for Facebook users to connect with the Shopping.com and Amazon product databases. Registered Facebook users can now add a shopping portal powered by Shopping.com to their profile page. This all happened on Friday and since then, 375+ Facebook users have used the My Shopping application. That’s a tremendous response from the user base at Facebook, nice job Marc and team!
My Shopping is designed to let users search millions of products, link to buy pages of retailers, rate and mark items they’ve purchased, and earn commissions when visitors to their profile page purchase items mentioned on the page.
Be sure to check out the Nextgenerationshopping.com blog for more interesting insider information, news and screenshots on the new Facebook Shopping Application.
Other than SecretPrices, the only other company that has integrated a shopping app is eBay. eBay recently launched it’s own service, called To Go, for integrating into social networking sites, blogs and other sites. eBay hopes this will help influence more users to visit eBay.com and utilize their auction service.
(Visit this example blog to see To Go in action)
The shopping application age is here folks. If there was ever a time to join the bandwagon, it’s now! Be sure to share these apps with your friends and other Facebook/eBay users who may not know they exist. After all, the whole point of using social applications within the shoposphere is to share them.

Hey,
Yahoo! Shopping has also released their Facebook app, call “Favorite Things”.

@ Nicolas - Thanks for the heads up on that. I searched, but couldn’t find any published or verified articles or write ups on it. Can you point me towards something in the Facebook apps section, or somewhere else? Your comment and additional insight is much appreciated.
