million hits in their first month of operation. The concept of alonovo.com
is to provide an intelligent, informed online shopping experience for the
powerful consumer demographic. By directly integrating trusted Social
Responsibility ratings coupled with a large, price-competitive array of
products into a visually compelling and simple user experience,
alonovo.com has started to redirect consumer spending. Our mission is to
catalyze a constructive relationship between an informed marketplace

product and pricing content from a large shopping aggregator, with trusted
SR data from a leading independent research company, KLD Research and
