We're more than excited to announce our second featured startup: Hukkster!

Hukkster is the essential online shopping tool for fashion and beyond. In one simple step, it is a bookmarklet that installs in your browser and optimizes your shopping experience online. As you visit all your favorite e-commerce sites you can "hukk" products to collect them in one place for immediate access and be informed via email or text when those select products go on sale (you will also find out about any site-wide promotions or coupon codes!)

For those who love to shop but are short on time, the last thing we need is to see what everyone else is buying or to be inundated with deals and content we have no interest in. We need to narrow and decide. Hukkster empowers shoppers to do just that. Instead of making impulse purchases you later regret, with HUkkster you track the products you care about, creating a virtual wish list that allows for comparison shopping and efficient decision-making. Hukkster saves you time and money, so you can spend it on more important things.

For more information about HUkkster, check out this article Mashable wrote on this awesome shopping app: http://mashable.com/2012/12/01/hukkster-shopping-app/
