Lately, I've been finding some great deals on the web. As we start to think about super bowl season, here are some cheap super bowl tickets for sale. In this economy, these prices are actually quite good! Now...if only my team the 49ers would ever go to the Super Bowl....

Jennifer and I are pleased to announce the launch of our new site shinyorb.com. We'd love to hear your thoughts.

It's a comparison shopping site for bridesmaid dresses. We aggregate thousands of dresses from across the web, and unlike on most online bridal stores, people can search by price, dress attributes, and designers. In addition, we also have a unique, co-shopping tool that makes it easy for friends to browse in real-time together. I'm re-posting the original blog post below:

Shiny Orb launches!

By Jennifer

Elizabeth and I are proud to announce the launch of Shiny Orb, a new online store mixing real-time social shopping with bridesmaid dresses.

Our inspiration for creating this store was quite simple. While Elizabeth was planning her wedding, she wanted her bridesmaids to wear dresses they would like and would look good in. Since all the bridesmaids, including me, lived in different places worldwide, we tried to coordinate what we would wear over email. Very quickly, however, our inboxes were cluttered with too many emails filled with links and opinions leading to much confusion and frustration.

Wouldn't it be easier if we could all get online and shop and browse together in real-time?

And so the idea for Shiny Orb was planted. With a co-shopping tool developed by Parrotview Inc., we've built the only place on the web where you can shop for bridesmaid dresses online with your friends in real-time. You can see what they're looking at and can chat and share opinions. Best of all, we require no downloads or sign ups.

We would love to hear what you think. Check it out at Shiny Orb.
