Edit Error
1. In Facebook Commerce, FBML should be given an internal link for explanation, and I have added that.

2. In Twitter Commerce, Plu$tter and PagSeguro should be given explicit explanations as nobody knows what they are.

3. In Price and product comparison of the Social Commerce, there are some spelling and grammar errors.

 * In error 3, you can point out the specific spelling or grammar errors in the article. And in Twitter Commerce, I think the explanations of the article have nothing to do with the Twitter platform, so the author can give more details about T-commerce such as commerce operating mechanism in Twitter. Thus readers can know exactly what they can do in this platform.Karenzhao (talk) 01:19, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I will directly make some changes on this part. And your second point is just as what I state in 2. I even google Plu$tter but there is no answer.Yvonne Chow (talk) 03:17, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I read the Twitter Commerce again and the content really has no relationship with twitter. I find a better article about twitter commerce: Twitter Hires Commerce Chief to Add Shopping

7 Species of Social Commerce
This article introduces Facebook Commerce and Twitter Commerce, but actually they belong to the same category, social network-driven sales. In order to illustrate systematically, the article can introduce 7 species of Social Commerce.
 * I changed some your words to express better, and your reference link is invalid. Yvonne Chow (talk) 13:35, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, thanks a lot, I'll try to figure it out.Karenzhao (talk) 20:39, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Social network-driven sales mentioned above is one kind. The other 6 categories are Peer-to-peer sales platforms(eBay, Etsy, Amazon), Group buying(Groupon, LivingSocial), Peer recommendations(Amazon, Yelp, JustBought), User-curated shopping(The Fancy, Lyst, Svpply), Participatory commerce(Threadless, Kickstarter, CutOnYourBias) and Social shopping(Motilo, Fashism, GoTryItOn). From these categories, it is easier for readers to know the functions of Social Commerce.Karenzhao (talk) 03:21, 15 October 2013 (UTC)


 * It seems that 7 Species of Social Commerce is just another category of social commerce different from Onsite vs. Offsite Social Commerce, which mentioned in this article. So I think it is better to put this two part in a unit called Category of Social Commerce.Yvonne Chow (talk) 23:35, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

In Offsite Social Commerce, the author thinks the poor performance has been attributed to the lack of purchase intent when users are engaged on social media sites. However, to better explain this statement, I think the author should provide some statistics to support it or it may make the statement unconvincing.Karenzhao (talk) 23:59, 16 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Indeed, this article use a reference saying that Gamestop to J.C. Penney Shut Facebook Stores and it cannot make a conclusion that many large brands seem to be abandoning that approach, and it cannot be the cause of the lack of purchase intent when users are engaged on social media sites. Here lacks related research papers.Yvonne Chow (talk) 00:14, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
