A social network aimed at shopping.   Mashalot.   I’m Fred Fishkin with technology BootCamp, a report on gadgets and gear.   I know, I know…just what the world needs.  Another social network.  But founder John Marino believes there is room for Mashalot…especially as the holiday shopping season kicks into high gear….and you want to zero in on specific kinds of gifts….

“I mean the great thing with this network is that you can choose what type of shopping experience, from which type of people you really like.  So if you wanted to just see people who are all about a certain category, you just click on the category of that and everybody’s profile, and that way you don’t even have to see all the other posts that other people are shopping for.”

And it can help you find the best deals out there.  The Mashalot app is available on iTunes for iOS devices…or you can find them online at Mashalot.com.  You can find us with archives, interviews and more at BootCamp.com.  I’m Fred Fishkin.
