I want to be able to click on a "Share This" link and be able to share products I am looking at on sears.com or kmart.com with my friends on Twitter or Facebook.  I just saw the new Kenmore Black Stainless Steel Trio refrigerator and wanted to show it off on Facebook but there is no easy way to do that!

Wouldn't the URL be really long and eat up your Twitter characters? You'd be better off running the URL through tinyurl.com or a similar site before posting. I don't think they'd want to be seen endorsing a particular URL conversion site, and leaving the URL long is cumbersome and restrictive. Just my guesses.

TinyURL and the others are industry standards -- and they use 301 redirects which do not affect page rank of SEO. Other retailers (like Finishline) already do this, so it can be done. In fact if you look up at the top of this screen you will see a "share this" button so they are already doing it on MySears -- I just would like to see them expand it to all of Sears.com and Kmart.com

Yeah, I've seen the "e-mail this to a friend" thing on sears.com, but I don't know why they don't do something similar outside of e-mail.

Great idea which the folks who manage sears.com and kmart.com should know about. Would you want to tweet the product description and price with URL? Maybe the image (twitpic?)?

There is now a "share this item" link in the top right corner of a product page. This lets you share on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Delicious, Digg and others.
