Kazowie.com: Seamless Integration with Facebook Connect
Kazowie.com, a popular social shopping site where consumers can browse hundreds of stores to create wishlists, registries, buyer's guides and polls has launched an extension to enable a new level of interactivity with Facebook's new platform - Facebook Connect. With a footprint of nearly 1 million users, the integration of Facebook® Connect amplifies the experience of browsing and shopping on Kazowie.com.
(Vocus/PRWEB ) May 29, 2009 -- Kazowie.com, a leading social shopping site, is introducing the launch of Facebook Connect into their site. Consumers can now enjoy sharing shopping suggestions and recommendations with their contacts on Facebook. Rather than create a new account with Kazowie, any consumer with a Facebook account can securely log into Kazowie . This extends a consumer's ability to connect with their friends, secure their identity and safeguard their privacy – yet enjoy the ability to shop for the highest valued deals available from a single source on Kazowie.com.
David Thomson, founder and CEO of Kazowie.com says, "Facebook integrates into our open web philosophy for taking all your data to the places you frequent the most. Instead of cramming our fully-featured social network into a Facebook application we've opted to bring Kazowie to Facebook users via Facebook Connect. By adding Facebook Connect to our site we've opened up our website to Facebook's 130 million active users."
The idea for Kazowie.com came from David Thomson, a 30-something who felt constrained by the traditional registry process when getting married; he didn't like the restrictions involved in choosing from a limited number of department stores. Once the wedding was behind him and with a baby on the way, David wanted to create a personalized gift registry at a single online address that he could actively share with his friends and family. After a survey of similar user-generated shopping websites, David realized his pain was shared by others. As the founder and principal of a user experience design and development firm, Momentum Design Lab, David turned to his attention to create this unique experience. "More and more people's purchasing decisions are influenced by online product research and by friends and family members. Kazowie.com can offer simple online tools to keep people connected." What began as an online registry has blossomed into a robust, singular online social shopping experience.
