  • Ok sure, and I do indeed speak to some of these people over the phone. Some of them I tend not to - we’ll meet each other in person every now and then. But how exactly is calling them easier or more convenient? With online lists we can all share individual links in seconds, it’ll keep track of whether an item has been purchased, and it retains some degree of anonymity until you receive the gift. I’m not entirely sure what point you’re trying to make by advocating email/phone.


  • Oh if it were up to me I’d happily use some combination of email and spreadsheets. But I’m talking about sending this to multiple people (many of whom aren’t particularly tech-savy). As the other user mentioned, having some kind of purchase tracking is very useful. And there are tools nowadays that make such tasks dramatically simpler, so why would you limit yourself to email? Your contemptuous ‘back in my day’ response isn’t particularly helpful in answering my question.
