...philosophically we believe that much of social media is ephemera - a tweet, a like, a comment; much of it doesn't add up too much; we see ourselves as a 'genie' style service that does real things in the real world; crystallising people's hopes, dreams, ambitions and desires and doing something real and 3 dimensional with them, not least to galvanise people into continuing that journey themselves....

@BillGriffin6 Love the homepage background animation. Moving forward, what's the big picture as you see it? Leverage from the eventual buying group? Distribution platform for other products and services? Or is this largely driven by the need to acquire teh Lulz?

Not the latter, we want to empower people to achieve things that they wouldn't be able to as individuals and in some doing helping them achieve things that would otherwise just be ideas; there are dozens of business models you could attach to that - direct transactions, affiliate deals, judicious data leverage, research and insight services, having brands pay to make wishes happen as an activation exercise etc etc; right now - and I know everyone says this so I am cringing at how cliche it sounds - we just want to focus on the people on the site and do a great job in terms of actioning the wishes in an imaginative and resourceful way. That's it for now.

While I was writing that this tweet came in which I hope sums up what we are going to achieve "Have a wish? Head to @crowdwish to see it happen. Great online site to empower happiness. #bestofthenet".
Crowdwish is kind of a crazy idea. People submit wishes, anything from "I wish I could get a discount on a Macbook Air" to "I wish I was a better cook." Wishes that receive the most support, get "backed" by Crowdwish and they try to make the wish come true.
We'll bring in the founder to explain it better than I can. :)
