I made this site so that people could get together and ask for ideas on what to get for a gift, share interesting things they find and save what they like. So far, people have told me that it's been very helpful, especially now while they are trying to figure out what to get for people on their holiday lists.
It's been growing steadily (even though I completely botched the product hunt launch) but am looking for thoughts as I want to make it as helpful as possible.
Thanks for looking.
we do make money on some of the links but I hope it's much more then that.
People can ask for help finding something, collect and talk about things they are interested in and discover things they may not have found. They can follow people of similar interest or make private pages that they share only with certain people.
Also, we only have affiliate deals with a handful of stores but people can post suggestions from anywhere on the web. We have no advertising or sponsored content and don't track people so that is what we decided on for a revenue model.
There are plenty of pages and wishlists where all of the products are not for one of the stores we have affiliates agreements with, the goal is to establish a community of helpful people but we still need a revenue model.
It does not only have Amazon listings, people can post from any site the wish. They all have the same affiliate tag because the url is generated automatically by Amazon's API.
One of the reasons that there is a large number of Amazon products is because that is the first part of our product search, another is it's the biggest store in the world.
