It will probably be cool if you let users be able to customize the reward for inviting folks. For example, if I'm launching an app, it doesn't matter if you're number 1 on list or 1,000. Everyone will still be downloading at the same time when the app is released. Perhaps some users will want to customize such that when you invite 20 friends, you get x, when they sign up, you get y.
Good concept though.
genystartup | 11 years ago | on: Ask HN: How much do you sleep at night?
Found that 6.5 hours is perfect for me. I sleep at like midnight and snore my way to 6:30am when my alarm goes off. In that 6.5hr period, I don't wake up at all. I then go to the gym for about and hour and listen to music just doing nothing for 15-30mins before I start planning for work.

Came here to ask this as well.

Have you had a poor experience with Elance or something? Just curious, since I've used it twice before and plan on using again shortly.

I was actually at the same fair, I was tempted to leave my own booth a few times to go sign up. It does look promising.

Thanks for the feedback!

nobadgift is completely different and they focus on group gifting. Not really a market we are exploring.

Generally we are just hoping to give people an idea of what you'll like and not limit them to anything really. We found from our initial market test that 72% of people would rather know what to buy for a friend than not know

Thanks, that's actually a very good point, one we've debated for a while. Will keep it in mind going forward.

Yes, once the gift is bought, you get a message and that item is taken off your list.

While that holds true, we are also able to do a better job of distributing your wishlist to your social network, which is what makes a wishlist worthwhile anyway - the people who see it.

That's a feature we are looking to add soon. Please keep a close eye on this to be released in a few weeks.

Our approach is to also give you a livefeed of what people in your network are getting as gifts, when we built this feature we thought of people who could use a bit of a "suggestion" of what they may want. So hopefully by looking through your feed and "browsing" other people's gift ideas you'll find inspiration for what you want.

Ha! It would seem like it.
genystartup | 13 years ago | on: Show HN: We got tired of getting gifts we don't like/need, so we made this
We don't want to make you feel like it's a registry that takes away from the experiece. I just have found that most people return or re-sell gifts they get not because they are in need of cash (only a small subset do), most do because they don't need or like what they got. So the point of giftsocial is to give the people around you an idea of what you want. There really aren't any restrictions to.
genystartup | 13 years ago | on: Show HN: We got tired of getting gifts we don't like/need, so we made this
Yes, and thanks for the feedback. The main reason we are on here is so people can tell us what we need to do better, what they'll like to see more of and less of. We are taking note. Thanks again!
