• Jul 29, 2007 eSwarm is a new Group Buying application

  Read on TechCrunch today, eSwarm is a recently launched application for group buying.

  Indirectly related to the Shopping sphere: I recently browsed Summize, an aggregator of product reviews that I covered in March, to see latest features.
