Some of my favorite quotes.

“It’s like Square, but you don’t need an extra device (a Square) — or a credit card. Pretty cool.”

“Obviously, for brands, the value proposition both for Sell Simply’s current offerings and the marketplace features that will be launching by the end of the year could be huge.”

“Just as brands hope that using Facebook as a social commerce platform can help create scale so that a larger audience will see cool products or sales because users post those items on their wall or share them with friends, Teso said that he sees a similar opportunity for eCommerce on Twitter.”

“If one happens to be selling their bike on Twitter through Sell Simply, there’s a good chance that a user’s friends will re-tweet the listing, and their followers may follow suit. If those people then, in turn, re-tweet to their followers, well, you get the point.”

This weekend I created a Chrome Extension for Sell Simply that allows you to Sell your Etsy, Ebay or Craigslist items directly on Twitter.

The extension let’s you to Tweet your items for sale directly from the item listing wherever it may be. People can then purchase the item just by replying to the Tweet with the word “buy”.

I was recently interviewed by Rick Turoczy about Sell Simply for Meet The Startup.

The interview went super smooth, mostly due to the relaxed nature of Rick, and the obvious benefit of knowing your own startup inside and out. Thanks to Rick, Tom Turbull and Phil Kinjerski for their work promoting startups in Portland. I’m glad to have the opportunity to discuss Sell Simply and the direction it’s taking.

Just learned that Sell Simply is one of eight companies selected by Mashable to fast pitch at the Under The Radar Conference on November 12th at the Microsoft Conference Center in Mountain View, California.

The conference is very soon. I better get working on some slides. And buy some new shoes.

Dear Portland,

Reposting this from Sell Simply

We’re excited to announce that you can now “follow” any Simple Shop on Sell Simply as well as on Twitter.

For sellers, gaining followers on Sell Simply will help you sell more. For buyers, following simple shops will help you find what you’re looking for.

Coming soon we’ll be releasing features that will enable direct communication, and deeper social interaction, with your followers. One example: your Sell Simply followers are automatically alerted when you list a new item for sale.

The goal is to allow more social interaction with the Simple Shops you love.

So… start following shops, and check back here for features related to followers.

As always, we’d love to hear from you. What social features related to following shops would you like to see?
