So whenever my sister and I chance upon Nike or Giordano having a sale, we go all out (we once bought about three pairs of pants and a top in one go). But that only happens if we're lucky.

What if I knew exactly when and where the sale would take place? That would definitely make my life easier. What if I could dictate when and where the sale would take place? Even better.

Why am I still using “what if”s? Social shopping sites like LivingSocial, Groupon and Woot already do that.

Well, all work and no play still make Chonticha, our graphic designer, a playful spirit. Taking a break from her work at the computer, she made the Taketake crew some badges coasters.

I have no artistic bone in me so I appreciate (and secretly envy) all the creativity going on around me. Notice one of the coasters look a lot like Horatio Caine from CSI: Miami ... YEAH!

 

]]>Here's a sneak peek at two badges for Taketake: Captain and Tycoon!http://blog.taketake.com/blog/2010/3/16/heres-a-sneak-peek-at-two-badges-for-taketake-captain-and-ty.htmlMatt B.2010-03-16T15:54:00ZI like to tell my friends what I have, had, or want. You can call it bragging but hey it's all fun and games. I'm sure most of you are like that too. Taketake will help you brag to your friends about things that you have or recently bought and also allow you to give your take on those products.

To encourage the sharing and discussions, we are working on a badge system. Attached are the Captain and Tycoon badges. Here's how you will be able to get them:

 

Tycoon

Must have the User, Spender and Dreamer badge unlocked

 

 

 

 

Captain

Must have received 25 positive votes

]]>So, what is Taketake all about?http://blog.taketake.com/blog/2009/8/30/so-what-is-taketake-all-about.htmlMatt B.2009-08-30T12:31:00ZTwitter is great to follow your friends, but what if you want to follow the things you love?

We are building a new kind of social networking site that will help you keep up with the products you use everyday. You will be able to follow the items you want, have or did have just like you would follow someone on Twitter. Users will be able to give their take and ask questions on a product’s wall and interact with others.
