I agree on your first point, however I find your second comment an issue, with Facebook your friends personal details are already entered. With Paypal, you send money to people who already have an account, Well that is my understanding of this. But again the data is already inputted. Since this is such a new website building up a user base from sign up would require you to invite all your friends to register so they have the details neeed in the system to send such a gift. Correct me if I am wrong.

With PayPal you can send money to any email address. If that address isn't associated with a PayPal account an email is sent telling the recipient to sign up to PayPal and claim their money. [1]

I don't see why giftdish couldn't work the same way: you send your gift to an email address and the recipient then has to open account to claim their gift if they don't have one already. Having a gift waiting would be a pretty strong incentive to open a new account.

Davweb,

That's our plan, and it works in much the same way within Facebook, now we just need to get it implemented.
