Description:
AllThat is a web application for a "better wish list". It's better because its half list builder and half search engine. Like the name "wish list" implies, you can use AllThat to build and maintain lists of the things you want or to build lists of the things you want to buy for other people in your life. What is different however about AllThat is that it has "search" integrated into the application. Every time you add something to your lists, we will look across the internet for the best price on that item.
Using AllThat one can share the wish lists among the friends. There are permission settings available which will define if the user wants to share the wishlist, which can be customized. Either you can all list/ selected list; list can be shared among friends in the network/among all/among none. A user can invite another user also to share his list. Network grows in viral fashion. A user can follow a list and remove a list too
