Western people seem to rely more on the Internet because Internet administrators are just around the corner. They can call them toll-free if they want to. This and other considerations somehow build trusting relationships for e-commerce to take place. Unlike in the Asian setting where most of the Internet stuff are just imported or accessed online strictly, Westerners seem to have the upper hand when doing online transactions.

Sadly, I don’t think clean and precise layouts would totally solve the problem. Clearing confusion and reducing conflicts will just make the products more viewable, not necessarily more “buyable.” If only there were branches among Asian countries similar to that in the US will there be a lasting trust factors between Asians and the Internet. Still, I am pro-Internet, waiting that one day, Westerners will gain the Asian trust and drive more traffic to the Internet.

It is not that I don’t agree to you…I don’t have anything against the shopping portals as well. My point of concern is why the e-commerce sites aren’t as popular as other portals on Internet. I would like shopping portals with something new to draw more traffic.

It has been seen that as compared to the West e-commerce is yet to gain momentum in Asia. I would also like to add that it has been found that e-commerce is lagging behind in Asia mainly because of the cluttered page layout (as I have mentioned earlier) and the trust factor involved in the whole business. By trust factor I mean users aren’t too sure of the shipment process and that if they would get exact deliveries they have ordered for. These two factors have been hugely responsible for the fact that online shopping is still lagging behind in Asia.

But inspite of all these I would say that a lot can be solved if the portals focus on creating clean and precise layouts. I mean clear and precise categories of products might help reduce confusion and conflicts.

What do you think about it…? I would love to know your opinion about it…

You might be right that there are people relying on the Internet more than they do in physically being in the place of their liking. I have no qualms about that. But being a person whose profession closely relates to the web and the Internet, I still believe social shopping sites are for the better. I mean it’s just a combination of “has-beens” in the web, something like MySpace + eBay.

I think there are clutter-free social shopping websites, too, somewhere out there. Just browse for them and I believe, there’s one that will fit your tastes to a T. Good day!

The latest research however shows that a small percentage of Internet users go for shopping online compared to other activities. Now this is worth paying attention to…I mean to find out the reason behind it we have to understand the user psychology. Ok, they have so many options…like shopping with friends and trying out a wide range of options, but then what might be the reason that holding back th users from going for it???

As an user I can say that mots of the social shopping sites confuse me. I mean it is often difficult to find out the right thing I am looking for. I feel I can do better with more options for comparative shopping. A better and closer view of the products will also help me get hold of the exact thing I am looking for. A clutter free site having clear and precise options for navigation can add to the experience of shopping online.
