Nov. 18, 2010— -- Google has launched Boutique.com, a search engine for apparel and accessories.

Users can create their own boutique or view collections by celebrities, stylists and designers. The site is only for women now, but will expand.

Barnes & Noble began shipping its new Nook Color this week. The eReader has a 7-inch color touch screen and features including Web browsing and some apps. The Wall Street Journal's Katie Boehret says it's a great way to share what you're reading.

"It has some very smart software that is related around reading books and sharing those books," Boehret said. "You can use the books for sharing passages on Facebook, or Twitter or even e-mail. You can just highlight a special section of a book and share it with a friend."
