Members,

We thank you for all your support. We are not only growing but also adding features rapidly. We just enabled another feature to use google groups for discussions and email notifications. Now you will automatically get subscribed to the group when you join iGifter and you can manage the subscription settings yourself. This not only gives flexibility to our members but also frees us from managing email lists.

We are going to focus on organic growth and we need your help to spread the word around for this. We are constantly working on new features and adding new gifts. These two items together will ultimately serve the best for our members.

That is all we have for today. Have a happy thanksgiving.

Public launch

Friends,

Today we achieved the most important milestone so far. iGifter is now ready for prime time. It took us a while but the product is fully baked. Here is a short list of improvements we made:
1. Increased scalability to be able to handle millions of users
2. Increased performance for a subsecond response time while searching.
3. Improved smart proxy to detect google search, yahoo search, msn search, AOL search, ask search.
4. Improved website to add member discussion
5. Added a user profile page for members who want to opt out of our emails
6. Added functionality to allow members select their own choice of gifts.
7. Create iGoogle plugin.
8. Many bug fixes

We are working on many new features. You can always suggest new feature suggestions to founders@igifter.com or simply post in User forums. You will hear from us more regularly, in the mean time feel free to get in touch with us anytime you wish!

Sincerely,
- iGifter Founders
