Poke your facebook friends with your wedding gift registry
facebook is notorious for people posting all sorts of things about themselves.
Now you can manage your wedding gift registry on it! The new app, Gift Registry 360, created by The Knot wedding gift registry allows engaged couples to register for gifts at multiple retailers and to manage that list within facebook’s Weddingbook application.
The Gift Registry 360 application is apparently searchable on on five retailers – Macy’s, Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Target, and Crate and Barrel – which, to date, have partnered with The Knot. (Unfortunately, as of today, I couldn’t find any mention of the application on those five retailers…)
Couples can bookmark gifts from any online retailer and can upload images of items from bricks-and-mortar stores that don’t have a website, with a note that to buy that item,gift-givers must schlep to the store.
Sure beats going crazy with a zapper for three hours in a department store.

I thought this sounded like a really good idea when I first heard about it, but it’s really hard to use! Everytime I try to add an item from a website, it grabs the wrong image and it never shows the correct information. My brother used another website called myregistry.com for his wedding and he said it’s the same concept but it actually works so I’m going to try that instead! Maybe once they have the kinks worked out it will be a good app, but for now I’m sticking to one that I already know works everytime!
Interesting. I have tried to use this and was really excited about it but the 360 application doesn’t work for me. My gifts don’t add properly and the application freezes my computer so I just gave up.
I have a question though – you have a screenshot of MyRegistry.com on here instead of the knot’s application. I actually just created a registry over there but is MyRegistry.com the same as the Gift Registry 360 application? Just checking because I want to avoid the 360 app. as much as possible (so nervewracking!). Thanks!
Thanks for your email, Elizabeth!
