Shopit started as a store network where you could create you e-store under a shopit sub-domain not that different from previous store networks like Yahoo E-commerce solutions with the difference it had more social features and it allowed badges to be placed in your profiles, blogs and websites, then a widget came and they entered fully in the “store in a widget” game and then you could extend your online store around your internet hangouts.
the shopit widget has come a long way and now it is one of the very best shopping and e-store widgets around and it deserves a review all by itself
Given the found success and potential in the widgets, shopit has now announced they will unveil Modular versions of their widgets for start pages, starting with netvibes, the number one independent start page that is also know for being very widget friendly and proactive.
this incursion could really become into something of a breaking ground move for this kid of E-commerce option because it could offer a better functionality that the stand alone widget without having to redirect shoppers to the main store along leveraging the spread of the shopit store network.
