On Friday, Duncan Riley posted about a new service being provided by the receipt tracking website, Shoeboxed. Following shopping at e-commerce sites across the web, you can share with your friends what you have purchased. The service suggests that “if you got it, flaunt it.” Without the social shopping features, Shoebox provides a highly useful tool for tracking all of your purchases and storing images of the receipts as well as each of the items that you have purchased.
As the website states, “At Shoeboxed, we’re making it socially acceptable to strut your stuff. Show off everything you’ve been buying and browse through other people’s stuff. Then let out your inner Mean Girl and go nuts with our stereotyping feature. Using the mouse is almost as easy as real-life stereotyping!” I don’t know about you but I have been dying to let out my inner mean girl. From that statement you can tell what demographic they are targeting.
Personally, I would love to be able to track all my receipts but I’m not sure that I have the time to scan every receipt. Maybe this is a tool that would be more useful for those with personal assistants. Would you use shoeboxed?

I agree that this is great for web based receipts but for tracking my offline purchases I'll have to scan al my receipts.
In regards to the "copying Facebook," I just thought it was a good title ;)
Best,
Nick

And sure you can think we copied fbook, but those features have obviously been in the works since long before fbook launched beacon. I mean, we're not THAT fast at programming! We also already have a fbook app that's better than beacon since it works with all stores, not just affiliates.
