Over the past few days we have made the following fixes and changes:

Overhauled search, to return more relevant results.
Fixed Javascript badges to display extended characters.
Fixed bug that meant that if you needed to re-login while adding a new item, you sometimes didn’t get to add the item.

The most important, but subtle change, is that we […]

We’ve created cut and paste ‘add to wists’ code that will automatically extract the correct image for an individual entry or catalog item.
This allows ecommerce websites to use Wists as a third-party wishlist system.

Details are here

We have created a Windows Internet Explorer, right-click, Add to Wists tool

We’ve added a Wists javascript wizard which allows you to publish and of your Wists linkrolls on your site, matching the look and feel, rather like Flickr’s badges or the headline feeds we used to syndicate at Moreover.

You can choose to show Thumbnails and text links, just thumbnails or just text.

To fire up the wizard […]

The cut and paste javascript code has been extended to allow for more layout options with a different skin ‘jsfull’ that outputs full item titles and descriptions in addition to images.

Cut and paste the following code into your webpage to display a live feed from Wists. You can adjust the font and style to match your site and alter the default number of items displayed (columns and rows):

Either within the bookmarklet or within Wists itself (click on details beneath any thumbnail image), you can now forward an individual item via email.

Why is this useful?
Several people pointed out that they wanted to point people to something that they thought would interest someone.
Sending a link to the page was not enough, sending a link […]

Thanks to some fantastic work by Adam Michela at Axentric, there is a much improved ‘add to Wists’ bookmarklet which can be installed from here, or reinstalled via the help menu in Wists.

The new ‘wistlet’ has the following features:

Beneath you friends list, all the tags in your friends network are shown. Click on any friend and the tags in their […]
