What makes Twitter such a great powertool for consumerism is its focus on real-time conversation. While, people often buy things based on the recommendation of a family member, friend, or celebrity that they respect. A Vancouver-based Twitter developer named Adarsh Dilip built Justbought.it, a shopping app that lets people tweet about deals and recommend shops with photos and tagged locations.

With JustBought.It shopping gets a whole lot more social as you have the ability to poll your Twitter and Facebook friends for a second opinion on that new shirt you’re considering using their free iPhone app. Imagine going shopping and having the option to ask your twitter and facebook friends’ opinions using our free iphone app or walking into a store and seeing what other’s have purchased using our new augmented reality app on the Android phones..

Upon logging in (using Twitter OAuth), you’ll see any recent purchases from your area, by category (shoes, art, etc.) or just browse the latest tweets sent out from JustBought.it shoppers. Sweet. It doesn’t look like it’s taken off in every city yet, so if you’re not on the map then get to it! You might even become the next shopping star.
