ThisNext is a next-generation social shopping network focused on product discovery. They are a shopcasting network where you can recommend, share and discover great products. The company believes that better buying means better living. Great products can help us do, be and experience the things that make us happy. Their goal is to help people discover great and deeply gratifying products.

Every product on ThisNext is picked by the users and most of the content is user generated.  Users can organize their picks into “product playlists” that the company refers to as “shopcasts.” Great shopcast lists can be about activities (like climbing or cooking) or things (like fashion or food). They can even be about lifestyles (like being green). Shopcast lists and picks are tagged and searchable on the website for easy discovery by other people.

When users make a shopcast list, they are letting the world know what they think is great and worth spending hard-earned money to buy. Users are answering the question "What do you use?" for people who share your interests and point of view. People who share your taste can then find and track your personal shopcasts or they can follow the collective wisdom of crowds to discover what the community recommends.

The company is a Los Angeles-based, venture-funded Web 2.0 company committed to improving the overall quality of the Internet shopping experience by offering a platform for personal product recommendations and discovery.

The company is being built by a team of seasoned Internet entrepreneurs, editors, and bloggers.
