Microsoft Live Search is getting an Update

Most of us tend to focus and use Google Search. Microsoft’s recent news of its release of Kumo (not sure why its called that?) may shift a bit of that focus, at least as it concerns to products and shopping based search. The total number of US searches in April 2009 increased 4.4% year-over-year, with…

President Obama Visits Shopit!!

Okay, so that might be stretching the truth just a bit! However, President Barak Obama did pass through our city of Brentwood yesterday! To our surprise, Wednesday afternoon as the team was out on a lunch break, we heard choppers up above, saw the crowds of people gathering, and then saw the parade of black…

If you’re reading this right now, its safe to say that you’ve seen the new look and feel of Shopit. We’ve done a serious overhaul! We’d like to keep you informed and up-to-date with all the new changes that have been, and will continue to be made. For the next few postings you can find…

Surprise!!

We feel like this must be exactly what a new mom feel like days before she has this great new little thing she’s been waiting to show the world for 9 months! Okay- that might be a little overboard, but still- we feel like our new Shopit baby is finally being born! Its a new…

Just keep swimming…

It’s almost summer and suddenly every sun and water seeking human has a common enemy. Pond scum. The algae that makes you slick when you exit the local lake. The greenish tint to your forgotten swimming pool (that color that doesn’t exist in your neighbor’s crystal clear waters). The stuff that makes the pond that…

The Eras of Social Media (we like year # 5!)

In the words of Ron Burgundy, Social Media is “kind of a big deal”. So most people are catching on quickly, and those who aren’t… well, we say good luck to you . A recent article written on Destination CRM, talks about how retailers are either wallowing in uncertainty or diving aimlessly into unknown social…

Cookies, Cake, Pie, Oh My!

We here at Shopit, believe that hard work should be rewarded…in the form of anything edible! So because our diligent team have had their noses to the grind lately, we thought it would be nice to sweeten them up a bit. The reward of choice: Susie Cakes! They quite possibly make the best red velvet…

Who’s Who of Shopit : Matt Bordey

This Who’s Who is special, because Matt Bordey is kind of like the super secret agent that quietly does his work and then slips out to his second, world-saving job after. We’re not kidding. He’s a special character! Matt’s been with Shopit for quite awhile, almost since the beginning. He’s our lead designer, a killer…

To Mom, Love Shopit

What would men be without women? Scarce, sir, mighty scarce. -Mark Twain

We got to talking here at Shopit (mainly about how no one knew when Mother’s Day is), and realized we’re all in a time crunch now! So of course we did what we recommend you do, and browsed Shopit’s vast product catalog to quickly…

It’s A Boy!!

It’s been an awwwww filled weekend for the Shopit team… Our head honcho Matt Hill just welcomed a little boy into his family! And we have to say, we’ve never seen a family handle it with quite so much style. Matt left the office on Friday casually saying “heading to the hospital, think we’re havin’ a…
