Exactly. That's the idea. We are still building as you imagine. And one cool thing about this is that if you don't find what you are looking for with our search feature, you can copy and paste the link to the item you want to buy from absolutely any store online.

Some things I want aren't on Amazon and it would be nice to set a reminder where my friends see what events are coming up in my life i.e. birthday, wedding, bachelorette etc. The sharing and follow features make it well...readily available to those who care for it.

on: Show HN: College2Startup delivers startup jobs to your inbox
When applicants receive the jobs in their inbox, when they click on the job to apply...they are asked a number of questions including being grad/undergrad, if they have github profile (for those applying for engineering jobs) and many more.
But we do have a great mix of backgrounds..about 30% marketing and the rest are engineering and design.

Can you share your portfolio or link to design/dev stuff you've done?

The messaging only happens on wolfpacktales...and we don't spam anyone. Basically you create a group, invite your friends to join, the get a notification and following the link takes them to the group you created, where u can begin interacting and sharing.

That's the next thing I plan to do. Presently it's only a web app.

on: Group Messaging apps – so simple, you don’t need $12Million to do it.
Thanks! Actually that's on the to-do list. I will make users be able to add others via their username on wolfpacktales rather than having to go to the sites to import. At the moment, it works nicely because of the early virality that brought on board.

hey mate, that page only asks you if you want to post to your twitter or not. If the user doesn't want to, he can hit proceed and move on to the next page. I haven't made it compulsory to do that. To be honest...that page is one of the reasons for the significant increase in signups.

Thanks for the intro mate! Will certainly shoot you an e-mail soon. And I agree with your comments. I haven't said any of these to mock the writers (infact I won't mention the publications), because it's completely up to them to decide who they write about and who they won't write about. I just want to encourage anyone else who was/is in the same boat that being covered helps a lot - yes, but that's all it does. It doesn't disqualify you at all. If I had only been covered on a big blog on Friday, don't think I would have even got to 2k users by now.

I had come up with this because I had some friends who were on Facebook but nothing else, there were some without Facebook or Twitter and only used Gmail. My idea was a way of setting up a 'group chat platform' where users can come in from Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Gmail and still be able to interact with each other in one place.

Yes, I do plan to do that in a few weeks.

To be fair I pitched in batches over the 3 days. Started on Friday night. However, i must note that I don't think all the signups are because of the blogs. They did give some initial visits, but I also did invite alot of my own friends, and as you see, the site needs you to invite ppl to interact with. It's got virality built in it anyway.
