GiftHat - an easy-to-use wishlist site

How many times have you wished there was an easy way to share your wishlist online with everyone - even Grandma (who can barely find the ON button on her “interweb machine”)? Well, wish no more because now we have GiftHat.com.
GiftHat allows you to easily make a wishlist of anything you want others to buy for you and it lets you do it with all kinds of AJAX and Web 2.0 goodness (for those that don’t know, that just means the interface is slick). As we have come to expect from a Web 2.0 website, it encourages liberal use of tags on all of your gifts and you can browse through others’ gifts by tag and/or username. You even get a convenient URL for your wishlist like http://gifthat.com/brian (that’s mine). This makes it easy to give to friends and family (and to remember). If you have your own website/blog, you can also add a snippet of JavaScript from GiftHat and display your wishlist on your site.
Officially, it’s in beta right now, but it’s fully usable as-is and works great. GiftHat was/is created by a small development team and they are VERY receptive to feedback, comments, and ideas. Best part about it - it’s free and has no ads at all on the site. Check it out.

I’ve been a big fan of MetaWishList for a while now. Web 2.0, firefox plugin, rss feeds, plenty of goodnesses.
