Tuangou teambuying website China NetCrowd 中国网众 has a special "NetCrowd Oscars" page, which allows users to vote (of course…everything does today, doesn’t it?) on the best tuangou experiences of 2006, that were organized by NetCrowd. If you are interested in getting a sense of what a tuangou trip actually looks like, even if you don’t speak Chinese, go to the page and click on one of the photos that form a column in the middle of the page. Some of the crowd shots start to give a sense of the group shopping experience–kind of like a shopping tour really, complete with activities and prizes.
interesting…but i thought it’s not new anymore…
Its still new outside of China - its not caught on yet. I’m trying to change that with this team buying web site: http://storemob.com/ (apologies for the plug).
