Wishlistr: All of the items I desire listed in one convenient spot.
Remember when your parents would ask for your Christmas Wish list in like October so they could plan out all of their holiday shopping in advance? Well at least that’s how it was in my family and still is to this day…
Making my Christmas wish list every year used to be a big deal, I would get my favorite toy catalog and go through and circle everything that I wanted with a highlighter. If you fast forward to now, it’s essentially the same deal. The only difference is now I normally go to all of my favorite online retailers such as Amazon and ThinkGeek and I use their built-in list features. The problem with doing it this way is that I may want 1 or 2 items from one retailer and a couple from another and pretty soon I have all of these lists on different websites that I have to send people links to. Lame.
Wishlistr is a new service I stumbled upon yesterday that allows you to create wish lists that link to products on other websites, so you can link to say something on Target.com and another thing at Best Buy and so on. Wishlistr also has the ability to import lists from Amazon and Del.icio.us Bookmarks. The website is mostly Ajax based so creating the list and sorting the items was super quick and easy.
