Wanelo (“wah-nee-loh,” from Want, Need, Love) is a digital mall where people can discover and buy products on the internet. The site has over 12 million products posted by users from over 300,000 stores, including both large brands and independent sellers, like those found on Etsy.〔〔〔 Wanelo launched in 2012 and is headquartered in San Francisco’s SoMa district. Deena Varshavskaya, Wanelo’s founder and CEO, started the company. Varshavskaya found it frustrating to shop for unique items in mainstream malls and wanted to know what her friends were shopping for, but there was not yet an existing platform that made online social shopping easy.〔http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/01/24/a-look-at-wanelo-a-social-commerce-site-for-younger-shoppers/?_r=0〕 Varshavskaya, born in Siberia, moved to the US when she was 16.〔〔 She attended Cornell University, left two classes short of graduating, and founded two companies before starting Wanelo.〔〔〔 ==Usage== As of August 2014, Wanelo has 11 million〔 registered users, up from one million in November 2012.〔〔〔 90% of Wanelo’s members are women, though the number of male users on the site is increasing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ke Mall Browsing, With a Click )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=3 brands that are driving the future of social-mobile shopping )〕〔 Along with its website, Wanelo has mobile apps for iOS and Android operating systems. 85% of Wanelo's traffic is from mobile devices.〔 Users can create an account on the site by signing up via email or connecting via Facebook. On Wanelo, all products are posted by users and everything on the site is purchasable. Wanelo users can collect products, follow stores and people and see what’s trending on the site. Wanelo users post links to items they want to buy from any online store by using the POST+ link online, the Google Chrome extension, or with Wanelo’s browser bookmarklet.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Startups like Fab, Fancy, Svpply, Wish and Wanelo are using social networks to transform the digital shopping experience. )〕〔 Users can also “Save” items others have posted on Wanelo into their own wish lists, or make purchases by clicking “Buy”.〔 When users post products from a new store, a representative from that store can then "claim" their store page and manage its posting on Wanelo. Users can also search for products via hashtags, like many other social networks.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=What's Wanelo?
