From.Us: Crowdsourced Giving Eliminates Bad Gifts

WHAT: Crowdsourced gift giving. Create and share lists -- and costs -- of potential gifts for your friends, who then have the final say and can choose something they really want.  From.us [ @fromdotus ] allows users to connect through Facebook and help each other find gifts the receipient actually wants.

LAUNCHERS: Eric Scott , Daniel Hirunrusme.

INSPIRATION: Giving gifts is hard work, and a recipient is not guaranteed to get something they want. People give gift cards, which don't always get used and don't show much thought. 

BUSINESS MODEL: Not Disclosed.

INVESTORS: Dave McClure, Christine Tsai, Paul Singh

RAISING: 250K
