Quote - I wish I may, I wish I might, post the wish I wish tonight I really don't understand the use of the public wish list. Well, ok, maybe it's useful if you're a merchant and someone out there posts a link to your product, but I don't understand why anyone would buy into this. Do we post our shopping lists? Do we post our diaries? Should it interest anyone at all that I wish I could afford the full version of Maya? If I'm going to advertise for someone, I'd wish to be paid.
I don't think of it as advertising. I think of it as someone wishing somebody would buy them an item they're wishing for.
I buy people items off their wishlist all the time. If I like their artwork a lot, I'll buy them something from their wishlist as my way of thanking them for showing their art and the work they put into it. It's nothing personal behind it. Just granting a wish here and there.
If I don't like someone's art, I don't bother looking at their wishlist.
