'Tis the Gift List Season
Just for fun, I've been trying to keep track of all the wish list sites out there that people have mentioned to me this year (not counting wish lists at Amazon et al.). A partial list so far:Interestingly, I'm not a big fan of any of them yet. Hey, maybe we need a wish list site for better wish list sites.
Just to be clear, what do I want? Beyond the obvious stuff, I want a wish list site with the following features:
- Not everything need be linked to other online sites. In other words, I can say nice white shirt, or equivalent.
- I can insert my own Amazon/etc ID. I know that seems crass, but it would be nice to be able to do it.
- I want people viewing the site to see the things that have have been bought, but I can't tell by looking which things are bought.
- I want a bookmarklet/SMS interface so I can add to the wishlist spontaneously. I never remember what it is that I wanted by the time I get in front of my PC/laptop.
- I want broad support of price comparison engines and commerce sites, not just a front-end for Amazon.
