Catherine Morris is one of the co- founders of Hubbit and the Marketing Manager for  Taggled.  Taggled is the new and very exciting social networking video platform focused on fashion. Have you ever been watching an on-line video and thought “I love that jacket, if only I knew where I could buy it” or “I wonder what that really catchy background song is?” Well on the Taggled website (http://www.taggled.tv/) this isn’t a problem. As you are watching a video, tags appear beside the products you might be interested in and just by clicking the tag you will be directed straight to the shopping cart to purchase it.
