Each time, the reply has been something along the lines of: “Wow! This is the first time I’ve ever heard of gifts on Facebook.” Truthfully, the experience for both me the sender and my friends the receivers has been rather delightful.

While I agree that discounting an already cheap offer smacks of desperation, I hope it’ll help them achieve some traction and get more people using thie service. At this point, they definitely have a ways to go with achieving any sort of mindshare.

Personally, I think users should be able to opt out of this because I don’t want people to see this when they’re trying to wish me a happy birthday.
