Swipe Your Shopping on Swipely

Posted by : on May 13, 2010 – 3:34 pmNo Comment

Web is the world. In today’s times when we talk, share, make a living or even buy on web, there comes another new technology to tell or literally boast to people about what you buy.

Yes Swipely is one such technology where the users can actually publicize their purchases on the web. It allows the user to link his/her credit/debit card and thus share and publish what they buy to their friends circle online.

This actually wants to emerge as a medium where people can share their best purchases. The emphasis is not on the money spent in the purchases but on the quality of the things purchased.

The brains behind this newly conceived idea are none but Angus Davis, a Netscape and TellMe veteran based in Providence, R.I. Danny Rimer of Index Ventures would also be joining its board of directors and Reid Hoffman of Greylock Partners is planning to serve as an observer.

The best part of this whole newly emerged idea of Swipely is the users being able to not only share the things they have been/are buying but also discuss about them as a whole. Now that might or surely give a way to selecting the best option by an amateur who wants to know the details of a particular product or service.

BUT…yes But always finds some way to get in. The  only displeasure or reluctance people might have/show to join the network would be the security issues. After all, everyone wants to keep their hard earned money safe.
But the creators who are adamant to change peoples’ views on security issues say Swipely is emphasizing security and privacy and has also passed reviews and audits.
