Notes for week #310

One of the things we used to do on our blog, mostly inspired by the brilliant folks at BERG, was maintain weekly notes about what was going on at the WBS offices. I last posted those about a year ago, and as you can imagine, lots has happened since. Since these weekly notes are great way to keep a finger on the pulse of the company and what we do, we’re bringing them back. These are, then, the notes for week 310.

For most of the last 9 months, we’ve been exploring several ideas in the social shopping and recommendation space, eventually culminating in the official launch of Bling, a platform where people share the things they’re buying and add things they want to a wishlist. In return, we’re able to provide users with all sorts of smarts regarding products they might like, what shops may have cheaper items, among other things. The amazing thing about Bling is that once you start uncovering the veil of possibility, it becomes immense.
