We wanted to end the boring Facebook "happy birthday" post, so we built GiftDish.
GiftDish is a social gifting site, helping users manage important gifting events and makes giving personal gifts simple and social.
After months of off-hours work, we convinced our employer to let us spend some "official" time working on this. In that time, numerous competitors have launched or are close, including startups backed by Greylock, Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia. Still, onward we go...
The site is still very much in beta - All thoughts and feedback would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
- nanijoe 14y agoFor the record, I don't find it meaningless when someone wishes me happy birthday on facebook (or using any other medium). For me, saying the actual words "Happy Birthday" is my preferred method of being wished a happy birthday... You may want to re-word the first line of your post.
- giftdish 14y agonanijoe, agreed, some can be meaningful. Changed to boring.
- nanijoe 14y agoHow about, "We want to create a more exciting(fun?) way to say Happy Birthday"
- tzaman 14y agoI don't even care if people say it in person when FB reminded them. The only ones that count is from people that remembered it on their own!
- frankdenbow 14y agoWho are these other startups you're talking about? The closest I know of is Karma, which is more focused on physical gifts.
- Cantdog 14y agoKarma's one. Others include Groupgifting.com, Ugift.in, Wrapp, and YouGift.
