I tried to register using "Connect with Facebook" but got this error message "An error occurred with sometimesyouforget. Please try again later." Normal Registration - Did not receive account activation email. Can't Login. Also there is no purpose of username in the registration when login is through email.

Those first two issues have been fixed and the username is for your profile so that you can share your URL with others. The through that profile people can contribute money towards the items on your wishlist

Is there any way to resend activation email. I cant register again with my email nor can i activate the account.

Sounds interesting. I was thinking about something similar for my current location and biggest social network. Execution matters more, of course. Once you fix the design (seriously) some tips. - Offer the converse: gift suggestions for your friends, on a mail. - Offer birthday reminders. - Try to understand the level of connection between a two peoples, so you can experiment with gift pricing. - On the other side, offer retailers a deal for a cut of their profit.

Good luck. Execute fast. This is now public :)

I would focus on trying to figure out a way to translate all of those "Happy B-Day" posts on facebook into people giving $1 towards a gift and making that process as seamless as possible. Then I'd call it something like GiftMePlease.com. That's exciting, translating all of those comments into $$$.

BasilAwad we are working on better FB and Twitter integration but focusing on those happy b-day post is a great suggestion
