Gilt's Susan Lyne: Selling On Facebook 'Was Like Trying To Sell Something At A Bar'

"One of my friends said that it was like trying to sell something at a bar," Lyne said.

But the site, which is social in nature given that it was founded on the idea of friends inviting friends, has also found great social media successes.
