Get better gifts with a online wish list

A big event is coming up and your family and friends are starting to ask you what gifts you wish for. The old way would be to say different things that you come up with to different people or let everybody get the same list via phone and then hope that they understood right and then phone each other so they don't buy the same things.

The modern aproach would be to use a online wish list tool instead. One that lets you describe your wishes and stores them safely and then show it to those you want to. And lets the buyers collaborate by reserving items and comment them. But not spoiling the surprise by showing their collaboration to you. You should be able to invite people the way you want. Via email, Twitter, Facebook a blog or other.

There are many web apps for this, varying in quality and functionality. Basic requirements should include the ability to create custom wishes, then invite friends and let them reserve and comment the wishes without the wisher seeing it. We are going to use http://www.wlistr.com for this guide.
