E-commerce Guide: A new e-commerce site called Buddy Shopping that lets consumers peruse products online simultaneously with friends launched today with the promise to offer a viable new channel for Web shop owners.

The difference is that they are able to do so with others in real-time.

The site, dubbed a "social netshopping" service by CEO Todd Kelly, combines e-commerce, social networking, instant messaging and the sharing of merchandise.
