Hi Steve

Great post and great list of charities. It's nice to see Amazon opening up the wishlist function to items they don't sell, although I'm a little freaked out by whatever scripting they're running in my browser. I could see creative people using this to add links to their blogs or other non-commerce things into their wish lists. Maybe people who already have everything just want comments on their blogs.

Taking the charity donations instead of holiday gifts a step farther, you might check out firstgiving.com (disclosure, I work there) where people create fundraising pages for their favorite charities and ask their friends to donate.

 

Thanks for pointing this out! Not that anyone has ever bought me ANYTHING on my wishlist, I have now added links to some of my favorite causes!

Hi Cherie,

You've got an interesting wish list. I never look at other people's wish lists...

Nice Bush last day t-shirt.

Steve, thanks for having Dana Farber on you list. They have been saving my life for the last two years. I'll even be back there on December 1st.

Now I need to go update my amazon wish list. Like Cherie, no one buys stuff off my list, but adding charities is an interesting way to share a bit about your personality beyond what books you read and music you listen too.

Now if they could figure out how to put MP3 downloads into the wish list, that would rock!
