very cool, have often longed for something like this.

facebook fulfills this function now and doesn't work for me as i abhor going on there lately. would love to make a change!

something like this is very far from thoughtful. it's the thought that counts, and if the right is handled by a machine, it doesn't count. gifts are not just periodically spending money on someone, they're showing that you care about them and letting a machine do everything hardly shows that

thanks for the feedback, adrusi. i hear your point about the gift feature. re: showing that you care, i hope the text reminders will help people remember to send their good wishes and prioritize special occasions that sneak up!

I can do the reminders part with my Google calendar. I can specify when to remind me (say 1 week before and 1 day before) and how (email, sms).

Might be a good idea to have a security section in the presentation, considering the sensitive info. Other than that, it's very nicely focused and consistent, makes it easy to remember (!).

thank you! and good call -- i def will add that in.

You could have an option to import birthdays from Facebook. Obviously not everyone - only those that really matter to you.

that's up there on my list (and a nice excuse to figure out to how to rank friends by closeness) -- thanks for the nudge!
