ActiveGift.me - How we give presents-2. New Year's Public Beta

This post is a continuation of the theme that I started in the summer.
ActiveGift.me - How we give presents. Briefly about sore.

Who has not read, the speech of the problem "What exactly is the hero of the occasion really wants to get a gift?"

In August, we were still in stealth-mode and the only thing I could do was say the words in letters.
Then I received a lot of comments and clarifying questions ...
Thanks to everyone who was not indifferent.
All of you helped a lot (who with words, who with deeds, who with just an exclamation of encouragement).

Now the situation has changed.
Now I can not only speak in letters, but also refer to links to the beta version.
And discuss this beta on Habré.

Initial data

Introductory remain the same:

• there is a desire to give a gift
• there is the addressee of the gift.
• There are hundreds of gift options (in online and offline goods stores, services, etc.)
• there is no main thing - understanding what exactly the Culprit would like to get from what we have enough money for

For clarity, I will talk about the possibilities of service on the example of the most simple and the nearest gift yuzkeys - New Year .

Abstracting from the details and imagine that you need to choose and give a gift to a person.

The choice in everyday life the choice of gifts looks like this:

• trying to remember that a person ever mentioned his wishes
• look at his blogs, twitter, vkontakte and looking for hints of the desired
• we run around different shops for a long time and fantasize about “oh, this trinkets will definitely like this ... not yet ... and it doesn’t matter that there are 100,500 others that are very similar”
• choose something suitable for the budget
• trembling and praying that the chosen trinkets like a little
• we will never know that the culprit was hoping to get something different as a gift and was disappointed

What allows Active Gift to do

Active Gift Selection

• decided on a budget for a gift
• found several gift options that fit the budget and “ideology”
• have made a list of these gifts on the Active Gift
• anonymously sent this list to the culprit
• (The culprit votes for each option "Yes" or "No", that is, "Like this option, I want to give" or "I do not like, I do not want, do not give")
• you get the "filtered" culprit list of ideas
• buy something from the "agreed" gifts
• with peace of mind give
• everyone is happy and satisfied :)

How to do it step by step:

• You are going to the service of gifts of 100% accuracy Active Gift
• Login (for now, only with the help of Facebook, soon there will be a login through other accounts)
• Wait until the system itself imports your friends from Facebook (or skip this step and go inside the link under the progress bar
• Go to the "Discussion" section
• Click "Create discussion"
• Write the title of the Discussion (for example, “A Gift to Masha for the New Year”)
• Choose a friend (autocomplete works if you start writing his Facebook name in the “Who is Recipient in that event?” Field)
• Set the date (as far as I know, the New Year is December 31)
• Make a list of 2+ gift ideas (autocomplete works in the field “Add your gift offer”; if something is not in the catalog, add via AddYours)
• Invitation The culprit is automatically sent after adding two or more gift options.
• The invitation and the discussion itself will be anonymous (that is, the culprit will not see that it is you who offer him gifts and the surprise will remain a surprise)
• Wait for the culprit to vote for each option.
• On gifts marked "Accepted" (Accepted) click the link "Where to buy" (Where to buy)
• If we have several options for stores where it is sold, this list will be in the pop-up window with a description
• Press the "Buy" button
• Waiting for a call from the store, negotiate delivery, payment, etc.
• Mission Complete.
