Friends, Instant Messages, Shopit!

Hello fellow Shopiteers,

We’ve added another platform to the Shopit network and we’re stoked about it!

AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) has been added to the Shopit external applications family. This means more eyeballs for your products, and more sharing tools in your arsenal.

You can instantly tell your friends about your stuff or ask them to tell their friends.

This functionality is built right into the sharing tool… through links in an IM, your friends can do the ultimate hook-up and share your products with their friends. My favorite quote when I’m shopping something is: “Do you know anybody who wants to buy a [insert product name here]“… works every time.

Also, along with this powerful new way to share products, the Shopit Store on AIM gives you all the power you have in external applications… without opening a browser.

You can grab the application here. It requires AIM 6.8 which you can grab here.

Be sure to let us know what you think about it and comment & rate it on this page.

Thanks and enjoy!

–Troy (lead applications developer)
