I recently did a good interview for an excellent company here in the UK called E-Consultancy who are one of the leading hubs for online marketing and web 2.0 right now. In it I explain what Crowdstorm is and where we are going with all this Social Shopping angle.
good interview - very interesting views and interesting space. a space that seems to work well in Asia, i think it should be successful here as well. I recall some similar models 5-6 years ago on the internet, some successful some not, but with your experience you should be able to pull it off.
I am surprised by your comment that VCs are running scared of deals like this - I would have thought they would have been all over you for series A funding (we certainly would be :)). Good luck - I signed up to be a beta user and hope to hear more great things about crowdstorm in the coming weeks and months.

Thanks Steve - I'm waiting for a VC fund to prove me wrong and show they are willing to take risks.
