Best Buy's Giftag on App Engine

Posted on 12:13 by Unknown
Posted by Amanda Surya, Google App Engine Team




Built by Best Buy, Giftag is a gift registry add-on for FireFox and Internet Explorer that enables you to create a wish list and share it with others. The Giftag team first built a prototype of the application on another platform and went live on September 2008. About 10 weeks later, the team relaunched Giftag on App Engine just in time for Black Friday. Since then, they've been getting positive reviews from users about the product.



We're happy to share this video created by Jerry St. Sauver, Curtis Thompson, and Thomas Bombach, Jr., the development team behind Giftag. In this video, they share their thoughts on App Engine, their development experience, tips on getting started with App Engine, and finally a demo of Giftag in action.






To learn more about what the Giftag team is up to, check out the official Giftag blog.



To share your own experience using Google App Engine, tell us your story (or even your own video) in our developer forum.
