Congratulations to the Kaboodle team. This is some great market validation for the social shopping space. As co-founder of Wishpot, a personal and social shopping utility, I firmly believe we have barely scratched the surface of the opportunity and innovation for social shopping.

building out a nice technology asset - like kaboodle did in the shopping space is a good insurance policy in case you fail to build market share and solid revenue - which is hard in the shopping space.

I actually don't think that Kaboodle provides a useful service. Hearts should be focusing on publisher services that actually do something for publishers. This looks like a buy cuz they don't know what else to buy.
