    Shopit just released Squidoo - which helps Shopit store owners sell more stuff. Congrats for getting Squidoo out.

    In 1999, VStore.com brought the "Tupperware" party to the modern, Internet world. I wrote about VStore.com back in the Internet heyday, saying it was leveraging the power of personal selling. In like vein, Shopit is the next-generation Tupperware party or next-generation VStore. Shopit enables anyone to create a personal store and stick it in their blog. Shopit, on Tuesday, launched its latest iteration. The virtual stores are essentially widgets that can be embedded across the blogosphere. Shopit is compatible with 500 social networks, including Vator.tv! Check out Matt Hill's Shopit store widget on Shopit's Vator profile. (Full disclosure: Matt Hill is an investor in Vator.tv)
