Nice examples for granted wishes

Hi Wishers,

We wanted to make you smile and tell you about a few examples of wishes that were granted thanks to you!
- A member who knits blankets for foster children got her wish when she received extra skeins of yarn!
- A member wished for the acceptance and encouragement to accept himself and he received overwhelming support from the community!
-A member wished for courage to face her past as a victim of sexual abuse and the community provided support.
- One member wished for friends all over the world and her wish was granted almost over night (I think it's our quickest grant to this day).
-One member launched his non-profit initiative and received support from the community.

We are happy to see our community develop and we just wanted to share some of the magic that has been happening here at Wishood!

We encourage you to please tell your friends, family and bloggers about Wishood or about particular wishes that touched you.

Best Wishes,
Keren
Wishood Team

New version

Hi all,

We aired an improved version incorporating:
- Categories (we sort them, soon you will)
- User points - based on a member’s Wishing & Granting activities and popularity of entries
- Wish stars now count – we show the most starred wishes on top. So get friends award you stars.
- Made some design and navigation improvements. More to follow soon.

We see wonderful content and brotherhood. We hope to see wishes promoted outside wishes – if you see one you can help out by posting about it anywhere relevant – go ahead and help out, make someone happy. Together we can build this wonderful place!

See you out there ;-)

Best wishes
Lior

Wishood re-launch

Dear friends,

Wishood has a totally new look now, thanks to you - our users! When we saw how you were using our former ‘anything goes wishlist” application we knew we were on to something. By voicing amazing wishes and expressing will to grant wishes for others (even complete strangers!) you clearly indicated your wish for a “wishing and granting” community solution. We got the message and re-built Wishood to allow for just that.

The new Wishood is the place to publicize all your heart’s desires with friends, family, the world. Once a wish has been made, people can offer to grant it for you! Wishes could be granted in parts by several great people - providing advice, making contact and more... actually granting a wish.

Your profile as a user is based on your wishes and your granting activities – the offers you made for others. The more you are active in referring to other people’s wishes the more attention and appreciation you wishes could get.

We will continue to improve Wishood for you and hope to build this wonderful place with your help, bringing more good people on board. There are already wonderful examples out there demonstrating unique brotherhood, we are very encouraged by that! It is absolutely great to see how people reach out for each other. We welcome you to participate and get the feel of that too.

Best Wishes!
Wishood team
