ThisNext by Josh Rubin

Thisnext-Ss

My friends over at ThisNext have just taken their site out of private beta. Shopping these days is all about curated consumption—looking to friends or idols for guidance on what to buy and where to find it. ThisNext facilitates online shopping with community functions that help you find and share products. It's very easy and fun to use—within moments I created a list called in my bag that includes all the essentials I schlep around NYC on my back everyday.

In addition to the standard Web 2.0 features of profiles, lists, tagging, commenting and trackbacks they've introduced the notion of Shopcasting which is basically a broadcast of product lists that can be added to any web site. Jean Aw from NotCot, for example, is running a community Shopcast on the sidebars of her site which lists items anyone has tagged notcot.

Kudos also to The Groop for the front end design of ThisNext—stellar work!

Bed
Few stores out there offer to give you just what you want in bed, but a great little shop in Vancouver called "Bed" (that also sells online) has made that its motto. For several years, Bed has been offering some of the most unique bedding available by making products that are all about dramatic patterns and brilliant colors. I love the endless combinations of...
Modhaus
Whenever I need to buy furniture—and it's been a few times over the past few months (yes, bookcases are useful things)—I check out Modhaus, an online store and "gallery of modernist furnishings, decorative arts and cultural artifacts of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s." Our apartment is rapidly becoming a shrine to the buying tastes of the Modhaus owners. How much wood can one possibly...
Spring Court U.S.A.
Spring Court, the iconic French tennis shoes, have been available stateside through select stores and boutiques for some time now, but the recent launch of their U.S. website makes it easier to find retailers and to determine if it's worth the trip. For the SS08 collection, which debuted along with the site, Spring Court stays true to its history of simple but functional design,...
