It's such a pleasure to see how far you guys have come and to hear about all you have planned for the future. Thanks for the heads up on product level bidding, that is good news. I knew you have all been living on Red Bull and Coffee! Feel free to keep me informed on new developments and/or feature releases, I would love to report more on Pronto, not only for my readers, but because I truly care about informing the industry about great products, ideas and services surrounding both eTail or shopping spaces. @ John – I just love reporting on companies like yours John.

We actually also announced today that we now support SKU-level bidding, something that our merchants have asked for and few other platforms support. Yes, the team is exhausted : ) Not resting for long, we also will be launching tools for merchants to engage in the 2.0 community in ways that we believe will allow them to improve their brand strength and loyalty as well as drive incremental sales. Stay tuned. Thanks again for the coverage. We look forward to reading future posts on Ecommerceoptimization.com.

I believe Pronto.com has more products, more stores and a larger user-base, but am not 100% on that. I saw a post the other day about Jellyfish.com where the blogger talked about <a href="http://www.jellyfish.com/smacktv/faq" rel="nofollow">Smack Shopping</a>. It's a very unique feature and about the best thing Jellyfish has going, other than their community base and network of merchants. @ Justin – You are right they are very similar in that you can compare prices, brands, etc and also utilize the social features.
