Hi guys,

I posted on HN 10 days ago - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4864978 - about our site. It is a way for you to create giftlists and to find gift ideas in an easy way.

We got a lot of great feedback from you guys that we've tried to act on. - A proper About Page - Make the giftmark bookmarklet more obvious - Improve the sign up process - More categories and products - Easier way to save a list - Image optimization - General look and feel.

So now we are back for more - we wondered if you had any more feedback for us. If not, no worries. Thanks again and have a great Christmas..

We launched today - http://www.ultimategiftlists.com - we've spent the last week on it. I got bored of having to write an email with a series of links to my family to tell them what I wanted for Christmas and for my birthday so built this..

Thanks - glad you liked it. Yep we've had a look and we think one reason that ours has an advantage over theirs is because of the big feature of our site, which may not of been obvious, the 'giftmark' bookmarklet - this means that you can add any items you want when you browse the web rather than just being limited to our default items. If you drag that bookmarklet up to the toolbar and then when you see an item on the web you like, you click the 'giftmark' button and it adds that item to your list (with a picture). With this feature added to the picture based layout we hoped we could get the edge over them - a tough ask i know.

Glad you liked it though. Say if we let you import your Amazon wishlist? Would that make you more tempted to use our service?

Thanks, glad you seem to like it.

Yeh we'll definitely sort differently in the future. We'll also allow users to drag tiles around and arrange their list in anyway they want..

I am not the coder, my friend is - I will let him answer you. From my limited knowledge I know that my friends skills lie with this technology and therefore he built something using a technology he is comfortable with. As I say he'll answer you properly in a bit..cheers

Correct - we are waiting for Skimlinks to approve our application. We just wanted to test the idea first..

Cool thanks - we'll double check to make sure we haven't got anything controversial as part of our default content!
