Tiny Massive - The more advanced shopping widget, make more money!

I’m always looking for more ways to make money, and this oppurtunity came right into my mail box, TinyMassive is founded by Kate Hiscox, Lauren Miller and Marcia Currie. First of all I’d like to point out that I do encourage more female startups, so I might over do this review). Just like shopping.com this site offers comparison shopping tools with a bit of twist.

The best thing that I love about this is the reviews by owners and potential buyers, it helps people know what they are buying and should they buy it or not in the end, different people different reviews, hearing out both sides helps a buyer make a better decision, and their map buyer locater is pretty cool too, it shows when someone is buying something through their site and where (site)

Now on to the money making part, so they offer their publishers a $6 cpm, it seems really good to me so I added their widget to the blog (sitewide), this will definitely help me boost my next month’s blog income report.

About TinyMassive

TinyMassive has developed patent pending tools and features that build upon and enhance the comparison-shopping experience for shoppers, publishers and the merchant community. Based in Bellingham, WA and Vancouver, BC, TinyMassive is made up of a passionate team of innovators, merchants and world-class developers with expertise in search and social network development. For more information, visit their site.

The world of interactive shopping widgets just got some girl power. Former merchants Kate Hiscox and Lauren Miller, better known as TinyMassive launched the TinyEverywhere shopping widget network today. These sleek and innovative product widgets are rapidly spreading across the web, appearing on blogs, sites and social network applications. Earning up to $6 CPM, these contextual widgets earn revenue for both publishers and merchants.

“TinyMassive can scan the page the widget lives on and serve up relevant products directly.” Says Lauren Miller, cofounder and COO of TinyMassive. “The widget pulls listings from multiple stores and pays out on a CPC model. We offer 10% affiliate referrals for 12 months and signup is a quick and easy 3 step process.”

While selling online, the team were frustrated with the return on investment from leads delivered to their stores via shopping comparison engines and widget networks. “From the moment a shopper enters a comparison shopping site or interacts with a product widget, a wealth of behavioral data is available. That data is either ignored or locked down and drip fed to merchants, limiting innovation that could convert more traffic to sales. Widgets and comparison shopping engines are moving toward CPA deals so its paramount merchants are able to improve conversion and make more sales.” adds Miller.

Following the acquisition of their e-commerce business in 2007, the women created TinyMassive and began collaborating with merchants and publishers across North America. “We listened hard. Everyone had a grocery list when it came to improving conversion for merchants and publishers. The launch of our shopping widget network, exposing products to millions of targeted visitors and handing control of that audience back to merchants is the first step. The response to the widgets so far, has been for want of a better word, massive! We’re thrilled with the feedback and can’t wait to show off our comparison shopping marketplace at TinyMassive later this summer.”

Edmondo, the educational twitter.

Edmondo seems to be like another twitter site but this one is for educational purposes mostly, it seems that edmondo wants to build a social network site between teachers and students where the teachers update their students about the courses and the latest updates in class etc. So far alot of problems have been reported for edmondo regarding functionality but for the times it does work it has pleased most of its users.

The twitter trend is on a rise i won’t be surprised if more twitter-based sites come up on different niches such as night life, webmasters, gambling, geek etc..

ManagedQ - Another Visual Search Engine

A few weeks ago i covered a visual search engine by google and i knew there would be more who would follow in those footsteps in order to make an “even better” search engine and here we are, ManagedQ has released their visual search which is said to be the visual search engine experiment that actually works.

I ran a few queries at MQ and it seems to have a really great sorting system where it sorts the results of your query by Person, Place and Thing. I think that is what i am looking for mostly at google to find a certain person with a certain thing in a certain place..

Although MQ has its flaws such as query result page titles and various text problems on the main windows of results and the keywords on the place/person/thing area where the keywords are really irrelevant to what’s being talked about.
