Boo.com finally launched today.There's been a lot of hype around this site and now that it's finally out, I wonder if shoppers will put up with the small popup window. I looked at some shoes, and they were only showing about 15 records at a time, which made for numerous hits of the 'Next page' link. The product detail pages were interesting, I liked the 3-D spinning shoe applet. The 'shopper agent' AI thing that runs in another window didn't work at all for me. It spit out the same 3 phrases over and over. It's nice to see someone doing something different though. This industry is still too young to have rules and guidelines.
