iGifter Beta launch ... take 2

Greetings everybody,

Today we are launching iGifter beta once again with new technology. When we launched in January we were only able to support FF2+ and IE7+ partially. After that we were able to make some breakthroughs and decided to rewrite the entire website. We are proud to say that now we support IE6+ and FF1.0 which covers more than 95% of browsers in existence today. We believe other browsers will also work with this technology although they are untested as yet.

We are a very young, bootstrapped company. This means we are also very short on resources and money. This sometimes delays our plans. Please report bugs, fixes, suggestions, feature requests or code.

One of the frequent questions asked to all startups is "How will you make money"? This question is important in many ways, the most important being that it helps distinguish legitimate startups from fake ones. It also helps users, VCs and partners evaluate a company. There are lots of ways we can make money, a few of such ideas include an occasional advertising email to our users and making corporate deals.

While we are at it, let me also say that we are looking for partners that can help both our companies grow and serve our customers. We follow "Don't be evil" policy popularized by Google.

Today is just first day. Wish us best of luck, help us where you can and we hope our services serve you well.

With best regards,
CEO
