It will also be interesting to see if these storefronts will be forced into the one-size-fits-all design of Facebook or if they'll be able to differentiate themselves with a unique platform. This is an especially important consideration for brands like Apple (though it's not clear if they're signing on), that rely heavily on image to sell their product. And lastly, considering how important the retail experience is to making a sale, particularly within the online environment - information, imagery, recommendations and checkout - I will be anxious to see how the application actually performs in relation to a popular model like Amazon or eBay. -MC One wonders how these brands will be incorporated into the site’s overall infrastructure in order to drive traffic to the storefronts, given that Facebook relies primarily on homepages and personal connections for its navigation.

The idea of sending flowers and gifts via social networks to someone whos address and contact information You dont know is somewhat tricky to accomplish - moral reasons wise, if You request an address from the Recipient, the surprise effect vanishes, yet it still reserves the value since normally the sender/buyer information is not disclosed while requesting the delivery address.

The SortPrice.com Facebook application just adds it to a wish list. You have to leave Facebook if you actually want to buy anything. Also, the 1-800-Flowers store is built in Flash and offers a much nicer user experience.
