New Form of Impulse: Shopping via Text Message

impulse“IMPULSE shoppers, watch out. Your cellphone might soon get you into trouble.

A company called ShopText has introduced a system that lets people buy products instantly using text messages, a process that eliminates the need to go to a store or even visit a Web site. For instance, a woman seeing an ad for a pocketbook in a magazine can order it on the spot simply by sending the text code found beside the item through her cellphone.”

Some shopaholics out there are going to love this and some of you are going to say that it takes all the fun out of shopping. So, where are you sitting on this one?? Do you like the idea or do you hate it??

    Oh, you dress to shop? LOL I am soooooooo addicted to online shopping. If only our grocery stores would get up to speed, I would so gladly spend a little more money not to have to get dressed and go there. *hoping*
