2012 is starting out with an awesome bang. We haven’t officially announced it yet, but Buyosphere raised our seed funding in November (separate post soon) after a long spell of bootstrapping. This gave us the opportunity to get the new site out and hire some amazing people. One of those amazing people is Deanne Yee…and I couldn’t be more excited about finding her. Yesterday I tweeted that the key to [...]
For those of you who have visited Buyosphere in the past day or so, you may have noticed we’ve done a bit of a shift in direction! When you log in today, you see: “Egad! What is that?! And how did you go from the previous version to this one?” You may be asking. Well, it’s a bit of a story. We hope you are sitting comfortably. It all started [...]

Out of over 120 conferences I’ve attended, it was only my 3rd ever ‘women’s conference’ (in that it was by, about and for women). And I LOVED it.

Why oh why are my favorite stores trying to kill me?! Okay, that may have been a wee bit dramatic, but still…two of the stores that I quite often shop at: BEDO and Club Monaco, both have sites with Flash-based Look Books and very little to offer in product links.

So when she became a Complete Angel level contributor to the ‘Send Tara to ASTIA’ Campaign on IndieGoGo, I was completely touched.
