		<description><![CDATA[Facebook commerce is not for everyone. A recent report by Bloomberg notes that four major retailers (Gap, J.C. Penney, Nordstrom, and Gamestop) have closed their Facebook storefronts over the past year. Analysts believe the brands gave F-commerce the heave-ho because their millions of Facebook fans simply weren't interested in shopping on the social network. "We [...]]]></description>

The report, which rates 225 companies in 47 industries in the U.S., is based on a 100-point scale measured by customer evaluations of products and services. Despite lofty [...]]]></description>

The answer is one click in front of you (open a new tab, and voilà, pressure cooker!). Or, possibly, it's in your pocket in the form of a smartphone.

		<description><![CDATA[Apropos of last month's horror movie-inspired bloodbath theme, I investigated Clorox's website this week. The company is taking content seriously, as well as consumer engagement. (A cleaning advisor, classrooms, fun &#38; games, AND blogs? If they were selling an addictive substance, we could accuse them of trying to seduce the children. The nerdy, good children.) [...]]]></description>

And they have (kind of), via a start-up company named Chirpify that "turns tweets into transactions, enabling consumers and businesses to buy, sell, donate, and transact on Twitter."

		<description><![CDATA[It's known as "showrooming," and it is not something giggling hippies do in the woods. What I'm referring to is the growing habit of visiting a store only for the purpose of researching a product and with the intent of purchasing the item elsewhere for less--usually online.
