Web Services Blog

We want to introduce the finalists of the 1 Million Euro zanox Web Services Contest 2008 to the public. They made it out of ca. 150 to be invited to present their business model at the Finale of the 1 Mio EUR zanox Web Services Contest 2008.

iliketotallyloveit.com is an online social shopping community where users submit and vote for products that they ‘like totally love’ while simultaneously helping people discover exceptional stuff. Included with every item is a link to an online shop where it can be purchased. The more people vote for a product, the greater opportunity it has to advance to the homepage and be exposed to even more visitors. It is a popularity contest within the community.

Consumers want an entertaining online equivalent to recreate their offline shopping experience of window shopping, relaxed browsing, and discovery. Consumers want to know what real people love, not what marketers want them to love. That is exactly what they try to offer. They let the people vote!

What makes them better than the competition?

They don’t follow trends or let marketers fool our users—they showcase trends live as they happen and are very transparent. Many other services are cluttered with useless features that have nothing to do with shopping. They try to be everything for everyone while iliketotallyloveit.com comes in a clean, no-frills, no-brainer package. Our site is straight to the point and very easy to understand. It’s social voting for products.

In one sentence: iliketotallyloveit.com – Extraordinary propaganda for extraordinary products.
