"Shelftakers" is a Facebook mashup that simply asks "What do you wanna talk about?" You can post comments about your favorite band, complete with full-length tracks. It's actually pretty cool to see your friend's shelves, and to be able to comment on them. It's also built on Google's App Engine, which means its both easy to develop against and scalable. There's an article on how it was developed at http://www.mashupcamp.com/wiki/index.php/FutureOfEcommerce. |

Consumer's Price is an application, developed by Ribbit, that brings voice to reviews of consumer electronics. They've also added a bevy of other features that make this site an interesting experiment in social shopping. From naming your price, to tweeting the item, to looking at Twitter conversations...to finding the closest Best Buy location with that item in stock, it's using a lot of the tools we all use to give a fresh perspective on shopping on the web. The voice reviews add a powerful new perspective to whatever you're looking at. It's one thing to read anonymous reviews and look at the number of stars that an item gets, it's quite another to actually hear someone talking about it. |

The GPS Discovery Tool uses Remix to display some of the information about the individual units.

These same concepts could be used for a ton of other application types.
