ThisNext - An Amazing Website for Design Junkies


Cool Hunting sent me a newsletter last week pointing me to this website. I visited it and was hooked straight away. I put my own shopcast on it and recommended loads of products. You may see I have a link in the left column of this blog which shows my last recommend item which has a buy tag on it that takes you straight to the supplier's web page for you to make your purchase. HOW CLEVER IS THAT?

Read the copy below, which is from the ThisNext site and start to join in. You don't have to have a blog to do it.

ThisNext is a shopcasting network where you can recommend, share and discover great products.


ThisNext believes that better buying means better living. Great products can help us do, be and experience the things that make us happy. Our goal is to help people discover great and deeply gratifying products.

Every product on ThisNext is picked by the ThisNext community (That means you!). You can organize your picks into product playlists we call shopcasts.

Great shopcast lists can be about activities or things like fashion and food. They can even be about lifestyles like being green. Shopcast lists and picks are tagged and searchable on ThisNext for easy discovery by other people.

When you make a shopcast list, you are letting the world know what you think is great and worth spending hard-earned money to buy. You are answering the question "What do you use?" for people who share your interests and POV. People who like your taste can then find and track your personal shopcasts or they can follow the collective wisdom of crowds to discover what the community recommends .

They even have their own blog with contributing editors.
