Vijay,
Thanks for the Proto event. The response has been very positve for us.
I would Like to correct the Description of Storrz.
I would appreciate it if you could include the same in your descriptions of Storrz.com
“Storrz is a Social Shopping Platform that allows people to explore, share and shop online”.
In the offline/real world we do explicit and implicit social interactions before making shopping decisions.Like taking tips from friends, seeing whats in fashions, asking for advise etc. These interactions are far more powerful than trusted sources of information like ads, reviews etc. Storrz is enabling the same for online shopping with the Storrz Social Shopping Mall.
