Gwisher – Gifts for your Girlfriend

Currently I have the great opportunity to participate in the Melbourne “StartUp Camp 2010″. At the time of writing, I have not slept for more than 24 hours. I’m barely surviving on cans of energy drinks, but nothing is more exciting than the launch of a brand new project.

It is with great pleasure that I present to you, on behalf of my team, Gwisher.com.

The premise is simple; guys who have no idea what to get their girlfriend on an important occasion use Gwisher, inputting various information regarding their girlfriend, and Gwisher returns a list of suggestions that he may get for his girlfriend. Our advanced “Gwish” engine processes this information in order to give the best suggestions for the user.

It was definitely a great 12 hours of non-stop frenzy, and I definitely recommend this experience to anyone.

Unfortunately, my worst fears were proven accurate. There was absolutely nothing new to see on the 2nd day of the event. This meant that I had crawled through the eGames Expo (excluding the Digital Lifestyle and Careers events) in less than 4 hours.

What did I do on the 2nd day? I decided to get hands on with some of the lesser known games being displayed.
