12/02/2004 A Merrier Holiday Online Gift Giving Season : TheThingsIWant.com revamps to make listing and gifting a community thing.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) December 2, 2004 -- WhiteStripe Inc today announced the official launch of TheThingsIWant.com version 3.0. The site that leads the way in allowing families and friends to build independent, universal, gift lists of things they want from any site on the Internet underwent a complete rebuild that makes choosing and buying gifts for friends easier than ever.

“The whole team is extremely excited with the new product,” says Guy White, CEO of TheThingsIWant.com. “Over the last three years we’ve listened to customers and learned everything that matters to people when it comes to building a list, sharing a list and buying from someone else’s list. We’ve tried to incorporate all of this into the new site.”

The new version of the site is chock full of new features including:
· The Browser Button Setup has been simplified.
· There are now a variety of different lists types, including Wedding and Baby Registry and Christmas and Birthday List that each have special features that related to those particular list idiosyncrasies.
· The access and password restriction levels system for lists and personal information, to determine who can and who cannot see your lists, is clearer.
· Easier and more integrated contact management.
· Better ways to publish lists to your homepages or Blogs.
· You can now add pictures and explanations to your Lists and Profile.
· You can now create a recommendations list of things you are an authority on.
· Easier and improved purchase and reservation process.
· Cooler and clearer design.

“When we started we began with a general view of customer.” adds Guy White “Today, we have specifically focused on what some of our most critical user groups want. Christmas listers want the options to be surprised and not see who or if someone had bought them something. Couples building bridal registries have always been big supporters of the site; Now they can add a picture of themselves and more information to their list. Bloggers use the site in many ways, but now they have more choices as to the design and look of their lists when they add it to their Blog. Families with multiple lists now have a better way to synchronize all their accounts. The examples are numerous. It’s just better for everyone. I’m confident all users will find improvements they’ll appreciate and getting the things they want.”
