The Coolest Kid On The Block

1-800-Flowers.com is known to be the pioneer of taking full advantage of the World Wide Web.

Their Street Cred:

- 1992: They were one of the firsts to start selling their produce online
-1994: They were the first merchant to utilize AOL
-2009: The are one of the first major companies to sell goods within Facebook. This means Facebook users can become a fan - and literately purchase items without ever leaving their beloved web site.

This is INSANE! Online entrepreneurs who created Facebook applications which allow you to send friends a crappy image of a flower, are already being put out of business! Why would you want a silly image when you can have a boquet from 1-800-Flowers.com?

While I'm sure thier are kinks to work out - I believe this is going to be the begining of an entire new way view social media, advertising in general, and the internet.
