Smart Mobs Shopping Online

I have read an article from Techcrunch, the story talk about two Chinese websites 51tuangou.com and teambuy.com.cn were highlighted, co-ordinate large numbers of consumers interested in buying the same products. People agree on a place and time to meet, then enter the store in crowds of up to 500 people at once. The crowds tell the store owners that they all want to buy, say a TV or a stereo, but everyone wants 10 to 30% off the retail price.

我在Techcrunch上面讀了一篇文章，它談到兩家中文網站51tuangou.com和teambuy.com.cn運用人多的力量組織人們更便宜地購物。如果你同意加入這個網站，並聯合到五百人就可以用比較便宜的價格向廠商購買商品。每個人可以用１０％到３１％的優惠。
