Next New
A new type of new media that I suggest would be an app that allows users to shop products from photos seen on social media platforms. As one scrolls through their Instagram feed, they find an outfit they really like on one of their followers. They then screenshot the photo and submit it through this new app that will tell you where the person bought the clothes for and how much it is. This is great for fashionistas who scroll through social media platforms and find clothes they would love to wear themselves. As great as it would be to have an app like this, there will also be privacy issues that arise with this. However, the idea itself is great and will definitely help many users such as myself that would love to buy half the outfits I see on my Instagram feed.

This is a really good idea! I believe that something like this would not only ease the shopping experience for people, but can also allow for brands to help spread awareness if someone may not about their products. A unified marketplace could help both small companies and large get rid of inventory they may be holding.
ReplyDeleteyou know, there was a site that did this, it was called "LookLive" it was a great ool that allowed exactly what you mentioned. however the problem was that "LookLive" lacked social media presence, and it has a troublesome app interface and software. if we take your idea an actually integrate it with already existing social media platforms like Instagram and twitter, and tumblr, it would serve as a major tool to shopping and the eCommerce market.
