Comments on: The Best Wishlist Site Of The Web - Reviews On Wish List Web Applications http://alltothegood.com/the-best-wishlist-site-of-the-web-reviews-on-wish-list-web-applications/ It's All Good... But It Could Be Better Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:24:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: Darren http://alltothegood.com/the-best-wishlist-site-of-the-web-reviews-on-wish-list-web-applications/#comment-3198 Darren Thu, 01 May 2008 17:36:17 +0000 http://alltothegood.com/the-best-wishlist-site-of-the-web-reviews-on-wish-list-web-applications/#comment-3198 Hooray, at last I've found someone else who acknowledges the existence of such sites, even though they've probably been around for years! It's always nice if you can benefit from someone else's hard work but that aside, I've often been slow on the up-take when it comes to the latest and greatest websites. For example I've only been using social bookmarking sites for about a year and took great pains to find exactly what I was looking for, only to discover that the site is pretty much dead (I'm using Spurl, which has all the features I want but no longer seems to be developed). So now I find myself in the same boat with Wish-listing... the Amazon wish list just isn't cutting it anymore (I want things Amazon doesn't sell). However, despite some long hard looking, I haven't really found anywhere that does a side-by-side comparison. They all look like they offer much the same features, but I know that if I choose unwisely, I'll end up with a site that doesn't have quite what I want. Now you might say, well who cares, sign up for them all and see what works best. That's true, but it takes time, time that I don't really have AND I don't want to invest a lot of time in something that I'm going to ditch anyway. Now that I've found this blog I'd be interested to see if there are a further posts on Wish lists and be happy to share any experiences or discoveries that I make. As a small footnote, a few sites that seems to missing from the above list are: wishlisting.com boxedup.com wists.com Hooray, at last I’ve found someone else who acknowledges the existence of such sites, even though they’ve probably been around for years!

We are using your list as a template and hope to have soon implemented the points you have posted. If you could have a look at the site at http://www.nomorenotebooks.com we would really like to hear about any new features you feel a wishlisting site requires.
