http://app.given.to is the only API that automates the process of buying iPhone/iPad apps, iTunes music , movies, books, and anything else in the app store individually or in bulk . Then those digital goods can be distribute through email, text message, Facebook, Twitter, QR codes, physical cards with branding, or any other way someone care to distribute them.

The links Given create allow for a digital item to be downloaded in one click without going through the hassles of the app store. These links have been used for marketing campaigns, incentives, rewards, contest and more.

I am Co-founder of a young startup (NoBadGift.com) and recently had a talk with my partners about how we plan to go about getting funding beyond ourselves, friends, and family. That's when one of my partners said we should sign up AngelList.co, but is it really as great as people say it is. Or, are we better off going at funding the old fashion way through networking and trying our best to get in front of investors

Me and my partners are creating a website that in a nutshell is kickstarter for gifts and events named NoBadGift(dot)com.

Nobadgift(dot)com is a site that allows users to make wish list of item/gifts for anything but focuses on gift giving events like birthdays, x-mas, house warmings, and such, like an online registry. Next users can share these wish list with friends and family members through e-mail, social media, or mailed invitations. On the other hand those potential gift givers can now view these wish list of exactly their friend or loved ones wants. Then either buy a gift on the list and have it shipped to them or make a contribution towards any number of gifts on a wish list for a small transaction fee. On the day of the big event all the money that has been contributed to a users wish list is then sent to that users paypal account.

What do you think? good or bad idea? Poor execution? Is there something we are missing?
