LinkShare Corp. said it will incorporate OnLive technology into The LinkShare Network, providing members with a virtual sales representative at each site.


LinkShare CEO Stephen Messer unveiled the first “live” online storefront
developed for GreatFlowers.Com, and Store Search, an Internet shopping guide
supported by MasterCard, at a demonstration in New York.


With the OnLive technology, LinkShare affiliates and merchants have the
ability to assist their visitors throughout the shopping experience, offering
recommendations and advice on a one-to-one basis, Messer said.


OnLive Inc. said it is the first company to integrate large-group, audio,
text, and shared data communications for the Internet and corporate intranets.


“OnLive Inc. is a pioneer in Internet technology because it provided a
solution for Internet commerce, allowing a personalized and interactive
shopping experience online,” said OnLive Vice President Mark Jeffery.
