Ask HN: Review my startup - GiftGoRound.com
This is quite an early beta, just opened it up last weekend. But thought I'd ask for some feedback as well as give everyone a chance to spread some last minute, not so subtle holiday gift hints. I'm working on a video and a screen shot walkthrough for folks before they register, but for now you have to register to see anything.
The general idea is that there's a tech savvy person who sets up a "gift circle" for their family and friends who are perhaps less savvy. This solves a common problem for those of us who's friends and family have no idea what to buy the nerd who has everything.
Thanks for your help! The landing page doesn't have enough information for me to want to register, perhaps some screenshots of the user area, at least? If you want to take a look without registering use, login: tester@intexcel.com, pass: 14all2c I think we should have a chat. Our two websites need each other. Mine: undercoversanta.com (also early early beta - too late for this year's gift season). Well that makes three of us that had similar ideas and didn't managed to fully implement them before Christmas :-p Mine's more early alpha stage (and on hiatus) as attempting Facebook integration was biting off a little more than I can chew... I still think there's a lot of mileage in the concept though as I think there are some pretty key features (other than vendor independence...) that Amazon's wishlist and Best Buy's Giftag are missing. Happy to talk I was definitely thinking that facebook integration could really lower the barrier for people to use something like this. I've also been working on that piece of it. we should talk! Yes, definitely needs a screenshot walk through! Link: http://giftgoround.com
