Wantz.it - Turn Your Del.icio.us Bookmarks To Wish List

The holidays are coming up, and you know what that means. Time to bust out the pen and paper and doctor up your wish list. Well, sort of. These days the old-fashioned hard copy wish list is being rendered obsolete with the advent of web apps like Wantz.it. Wantz.it is a simple tool that allows you to create a wishlist from your del.icio.us bookmarks, assuming you have an account. To use the application, sign up for Wantz.it and head to your del.icio.us account, where you can add items to your account as you normally would. When you stumble across something you “want”, click “dowant”, and the link will automatically be added to your Wantz.it wish list. Wantz.it doesn’t limit its service to solely e-commerce sites like Amazon; it suggests that you get the creative juices flowing and use its service to be more subtle about your holiday wishes as well (for example, Wantz.it offers up the idea of adding a Flickr photo of a beach scene to imply that you’d like a vacation).

 
  In their own words  

“Wantz.it is the online wish list you never have to visit.All you need is a del.icio.us account. After you signed up, everything you tag “dowant” in delicious automatically appears in your wantz.it wish list”

  Why it might be a killer  

Wantz.it takes advantage of the ever-popular social bookmarking revolution in order to make it easier for to take bookmarks you’ve already added on del.icio.us (or find new ones) to create a holiday wish list.

  Some questions  

Does Wantz.it let you share your wishlist? It’s unclear from the information provided on the site. What about exporting lists? Can you prioritize items in accordance with how much you want them? Most importantly, the app is still in early alpha, so it seems like it won’t be timed properly to coincide with when most people will be doing their holiday shopping.
