Expert on ShopSquad
A few weeks ago, I was invited to become one of the first wave of experts for ShopSquad. ShopSquad, which officially launched yesterday, is a site that helps you find the perfect item by chatting with experts. The site covers a variety of areas, including computers, sporting goods, food & win, and babies. All you have to do is type in a key word...like say for instance "sippy cups". You will then be taken to a screen that lists all the people who are knowledgeable with sippy cups.If your curious or needing help finding an item, you can contact me on the site via my profile. I'm live in site Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. CST (central time). If I'm not there, leave a question and I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible.
