We are Oso Excited to launch OsoEco to the public today!

We have been testing our green social shopping tools over the last several months with a small group of users behind the scenes. Today, we are quietly launching OsoEco to the public, with the intention of continuing to gain valuable feedback before shouting out OsoEco to the world.

For those who decide to join us we’d love it if you played around with the site (while having fun of course) and sharing your thoughts with us. We’re building this for you – so we want to make sure we’re providing social shopping and social research tools that meet your needs.

What Can You Currently Do on OsoEco?

1. Create your own Profile.

2. Tag your interests (assign keywords). This allows you to easily connect with people, products and articles that match your interests.

3. Learn about the power of TAGriculture™ on OsoEco. Basically this is how the OsoEco community works together to create a shared language and directory around green and health & wellness.

4. Take OsoEco with you wherever you go on the Web by adding an “Add to OsoEco” button to your browser’s toolbar. (Note: we currently only support Firefox)
   

This is an example from our TAGriculture™ page that shows who has been using the tag “organic cotton”

How Do You Share Feedback With OsoEco?
