3B Brings the Best of the Shopping Mall Online; Featuring Great New Stores, Plus the Ability to Window Shop and Virtually Walk the 3-D Mall.LONDON -- 3B, the creator of the first free window-shopping browser, today announced the opening of its upgraded and expanded 3-D shopping mall. The new 3B mall makes online shopping more like walking through a mall, where people can stroll down aisles and "walk" into stores that catch their interest. Ready for the holidays, 45 new shops have been built, featuring many well-known retailers from fashion to music. Previously, when shopping online, people needed to know fairly precisely what they wanted to buy. But that's not what women do at the real mall, where it's about finding new items, and things they didn't know they wanted until they saw them. 3B's virtual mall combines the best of both worlds, providing the ease and convenience of shopping online coupled with the ability to discover the ideal item.
