 8th Bridge CEO Wade Garten:

“Social commerce has pivoted its focus from e-commerce transactions on social networks to a new kind of social network in which users are connected by their interests (Interest Graphs) rather than friendships (Social Graphs). The industry has witnessed the rise of a new phase of social commerce where innovative retailers have begun deeply integrating social shopping into their websites rather than relying on social network websites for engagement.”

Chirpify Creates New Commerce Opportunities with Instagram | Mobile Marketing Watch | BayPay Social Commerce | Scoop.it

Chirpify – the in-stream commerce provider for Twitter – is added Instagram to its thriving platform.
“Today Chirpify took another step to decentralize commerce and payments across all streams from any device, whether a mobile phone or desktop computer,” says Chirpify CEO Chris Teso. “If people can’t buy it in-stream it’s not social commerce. It’s advertising. We turn attention re-routing advertising into high value in-stream transactions. We’re the only company truly doing social commerce.”
And so far, a number of high profile brands and celebrities are jumping on the bandwagon.

 

Chirpify for Instagram is hailed as the only way that businesses and consumers can buy, sell, donate and exchange funds on and without ever leaving Instagram, turning comments into immediate in-stream transactions.
As of this writing, 40 percent of the world’s most popular brands are on Instagram.
