Let’s Gift It – Group Gifting Made Easy
Let’s Gift It is a relatively new website launched back in December 2010. It implements a simple business model giving users the opportunity to send gifts to other people. You may be wondering how this is different from other gift services. Well, it is, because it allows the gifts to be sent as a group.
The process is simple. All you need is a free account to start the process. Then it is up to you to choose an appropriate gift and send out invites to your friends or colleagues directly or via social networking websites like Facebook. Users can then visit the link and chip in with whatever amount they like. The contributions are anonymous as far as the recipient is concerned although the organizer can see this information. Everything from packaging to shipping is then taken care of automatically through the service interface.
Let’s Gift It uses Authorize as the payment processing system. The service also provides APIs for merchants to incorporate this functionality in their websites.
What they say about themselves
We help people buy and gift as a group. Lets Gift It is innovating in social commerce and gifting. We are one of the best social media apps enabling retailers and wish lists by providing a technology solution for social buying in electronic commerce. E-business and online merchandising sites are using social media campaigns to reach and engage with groups of buyers. Let’s Gift It taps into social networks to provide our e-Commerce partners with an alternative payment solution by deploying our SaaS group gift technology.
Why it could be a success
Simply put, small contributions pooled together can be used to buy something nice for a person you care about. Instead of individual gifts, people can use group gifting to buy something big and relatively expensive like iPod or a PS3.
Betterfly – Find the right person
The service industry is changing. New models of business come out daily and the intense competition drives people to search for new ways to find potential customers. Outsourcing has been with us for a long time. Businesses reach out to professionals for tasks like advertising and marketing. Now, if we talk about individuals, people have been using the Internet for a long time to make purchases of products (Amazon comes to mind). People offer their services via websites like Craigslist. Recently I visited BetterFly and their specialty is the service sector.
Make an account on BetterFly and then search through the listing of services. You may be looking for a musician for lessons or a therapist. From teachers to yoga instructors, the website claims to offer services from more than a thousand individuals. On finding one, you have the option to make transactions for services rendered through the website or you can get together and use any other method.
If you happen to use the service, do leave a feedback about the provider so that other people can benefit from it.
What they say about themselves
Betterfly is the first website of its kind to exclude companies, focusing on people instead. Its goal is to make it easy to find the best people to help you learn, look or feel better. Betterfly sets out to make that process easier and more efficient for its users. By catering to individuals instead of companies and by offering a broad but well-defined set of services, Betterfly enables users to compare apples to apples.
Why it could be a success
Finding the right professional can be difficult. Yellow pages are there, but you can’t be sure about the competence of a person unless you hear some positive feedback. All this is provided to you through BetterFly. The website is still beta so I’d give it some time to see how it fares.
Flapon – Topic-Based Social Networking
Flapon is a new and upcoming social networking website providing users with the ability to interact with other people based on their interests. Like most social networking websites, the idea is to create connections. From personal friendships to business affiliations, Flapon can help you to grow your network of friends.
Flapon is a topic-based social networking site. It works by allowing users to choose from a wide range of topics matching their interests and interact with people having similar tastes. The main theme revolves around creating Flaps, which are similar to forum or blog posts and can be used to write personal thoughts, reviews or just random tidbits of information which you feel can benefit others. The Flaps are then posted and streamed to users who are either following the person writing the Flap or the topic, the Flap is based on.
An interesting feature is the event notification. Users can inform others interested in a particular niche about an upcoming event. The event can both be online or offline in the real world. A marketplace to setup a business presence for a brand is also provided for young entrepreneurs as a launching pad to introduce others to their services.
What they say about themselves
Flapon features include an interactive blogging/forum function called “Flap” which allows users to write about and discuss topics of mutual interest. Users can easily meet new people based on those mutual interests without muddling through thousands of forums online.
Why it could be a success
The ability to make it easier to find people with similar interests by connecting them through Flap topics may give an edge to this new website. By posting useful information for others, people can easily find friends with similar interests in life. The idea of an integrated marketplace for business is an added advantage.

ValueJockey – Find the Right Price for Saleable Items
Finding a website where you can sell your items is easy, but knowing the correct price to set on them is harder. ValueJockey is an interactive service that lets you list your item with a photo to get feedback on how much it’s worth, whether or not you want to sell it. Members include professional valuers as well as hobbyists, so this is a worthwhile service that would help avoid scam valuations from buyers. It should also help avoid underpricing or even overpricing an item, both of which mean losing out. The website has links to sales sites so you can carry on to list the items at a realistic price. It’s also possible to give links from ValueJockey to other sales sites of your choice including eBay and craigslist.
The site is as simple to use as the main sales sites, with a menu of categories to choose from in order to list your item. Then upload a photo and put some details to see it displayed. You can ask the particular questions you have about pricing in the short product description. The sales field will display valuations other ValueJockey members give as feedback. I’ve had a coin collection I’ve had trouble getting valued, and could see that this site provides the kind of detailed information I need even in this specialist niche.
The number of categories is comprehensive, and if you have expertise as an enthusiast or professional your valuations would add to the service. Professionals can list their details so it’s also an aid to promotion. Apart from valuations, members are encouraged to write and submit articles on their areas of expertise. Everybody has something they would like valued, whether they’re collectors or just rummaging through their attic, and ValueJockey provides a handy solution.
AdFlyer – Online Marketplace to Buy and Sell
I immediately got caught up looking at the items advertised on this site so it must be effective. AdFlyer is an online marketplace where you can buy and sell a wide variety of goods and also tickets, property and pets. Whether you’re looking for a new puppy, a holiday villa with swimming pool, antiques or everday items, you’re likely to find them here.
The site is well organised with a full menu of goods listed by category, plus appealing pictures on the home page of the latest and most popular adverts. At the time of writing Christmas caused most popular gifts to appear and scroll through, giving plenty of ideas and opportunities for impulse buys. There’s a great selection in each category and clear options on the tags to go to the Buy or Sell sections.
Clicking on the Buy tag takes you to a full alphabetical list of items by category and by specific product type. Clicking on the Sell tag also brings up a full list of categories so you can choose where to advertise your item for free. There’s also a paid option which adds extra features for sellers. With so many websites around offering an online marketplace it’s a difficult place to succeed, but with free adverts and a good design this one has attracted a large number of sellers already.
12VisitMe – Help People via Tourism
People from developing countries can offer travel opportunities to tourists and voluntary helpers using 12VisitMe, while travellers can find unusual and exciting holidays or offer their services as volunteers. This may all sound like charity work and perhaps a little dull, but the holidays on offer are extremely tempting. Feedback on the site shows travellers who have enjoyed their trips seeing the orangutangs in Indonesia, a Buddhist monastery in Tibet, and a round trip of Cuba, among other experiences.
Along with these holidays, which provide income for developing countries, the site is an easy way to find opportunities to volunteer: examples including working with animals in Gautemala, helping in orphanages, and working on sustainable tourism and community development in various regions. This website is sure to prove popular and useful to students and others wanting to visit a country by helping the community and wildlife.
At a time when many seem to be tiring of the usual packaged holidays it also offers more interesting ways to get to know the real countries and communities being visited. It’s a well organised site which makes it easy to offer or find holidays, and there’s invaluable advice and feedback on holidays, including best times of year to visit each place.
