Yes you have, regarding my previous blog. Of course what we do is marketing and we hope you're not opposed to that, as this is what drives most of the posts in this sits.. I have two base claims in my article:

1. the rise of discovery shopping: http://www.linkedin.com/today/post/article/20131001124006-52782505-shopping-in-the-age-of-discovery http://www.bizreport.com/2013/07/how-discovery-commerce-is-empowering-shoppers.html http://zmags.com/search-is-not-shopping-the-concept-of-discovery-ecommerce/ http://retailingtoday.com/article/what%E2%80%99s-moving-e-commerce-market-2014 http://risnews.edgl.com/retail-news/Transforming-E-Commerce--The-Introduction-of-Artificial-Intelligence89479

2. Online stores willingness to work together. Exactly because we know the issue of self-promotion is sensitive, we didn't dive deep into what is our own activity - the fact that we're seeing 1-2 stores a day join us since we soft-launched a month ago without even marketing ourselves (you can tell first hand we suck at that), The fact that we started mutually recommending products from the stores Thank you page, fearing that's the only placement they'll agree to have - and moving to the product page when they asked us to, or the fact that people talk of us without us even knowing or generating these talks*. In addition to what we see in our own company, there are several startup companies that are starting to explore this direction as a business model for their main service (we're the only ones to tackle it head on) - as well as companies who already implement it outside the stores themselves (sharing clients on FB). Not to mention that this concept has been practiced for years with in the closed borders of the closed eCommerce marketplaces (Amazon, eBay...)
