I’m an avid reader of Get Elastic, The Ecommerce Blog. About a month ago, Get Elastic announced their first ever Big Ecommerce Conference Contest where entrants could win full conference passes to three different internet expos! (a valued prize for us internet geeks ) So I entered, although I’ve never won anything in my life. And as luck would have it, I won!!
Shopit will be attending Online Market World 2008 at the Moscone Center, San Francisco, October 1st- 3rd. The event is a comprehensive three-day conference to address the entire e-commerce life cycle from business, technology, marketing, and operational perspectives. Some of the KeyNote speakers include: Kathy Ireland CEO & Chief Designer, Kathy Ireland World Wide, Tony Hsieh CEO, Zappos, Marsha Collier Author, eBay For Dummies Series, Holly Eve Suttman Founder, Black and Light Co.
We’re stoked. Thanks Get Elastic. We’ll see you in October.

Our brilliant app developer Troy, and our COO Rhett, attended the recent Web App Dev Meetup hosted by the kind folks at Mahalo Wednesday night.
The first event speaker was Eric Marcoullier, CEO of Gnip. Eric spoke about the Gnip technology, which is focused on reducing the pain of constant pinging to servers every 15 minutes for updates from data providers such as Flickr, Twitter, Mahalo, etc. Hoping to amplify focus on creating great applications instead of aggregating data.
The second, a great presentation from Chris Schalk and Kevin Marks, Google Developer Advocates talking about Open Social; seamlessly getting user’s information out to the rest of the universe through a common API for social applications across multiple websites.
The event was a success…free education, free networking, and free food. What more could you ask for in a meetup? Looking forward to the next!
Ben- SysAdmin Genius Kevin- Crazy Coder Matt B- Design Guru
Congratulations to our Three Winners!
Ben had the best score overall, taking home a well deserved Best Buy certificate. Matt followed suit, holding the lowest score in any round. And Kevin won a much needed massage for the most improved score from the first to second round. Good jobs guys! Everyone else- better luck next year, we better see some improvement in Tourney #2.
Please enjoy all our Mini Golf Photos!
It was an intense 18 holes. We had some serious players…some great shots…and a lot of cursing. All and all a great time!

I feel like the whole world’s a-Twitter these days! So we’ve finally jumped on the Twitter bandwagon. And from the experience so far, it’s no wonder people are addicted to this new communication phenomenon.
If you haven’t heard of or checked out Twitter yet; it’s a service for friends, family and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through quick, frequent communication that pretty much answers one question: What are you doing?
On our Shopit Twitter you can find out about our latest company info, keep up with stuff were blogging about, and even see what we’re up to in the office. So start following us, and let us know if you are tweeting too!
All this talk about who’s Great on the Green? Time to put your Putter where your Mouth is!
