		<description>I think Bitter has summed up my feelings on the subject nicely. There&#039;s a lot of potential, but a hell of a lot of potential pitfalls. The jury is still very much out on this one for me.</description>

		<description>I like the concept, but I&#039;m not sure about the execution.  Granted, I&#039;m in that category you mentioned of fairly tech people, as is my boyfriend and all of our friends.  The types of people we&#039;d have to our event would actually be perfect for something like this because they either blog, are talk radio hosts, or do something else fun in either tech or entertainment.  I see this as a lot more interesting than some random camera guy putting people on the spot for well wishes and a lot more entertaining than a book of standard wedding greetings.

However, my concerns over execution, especially after looking at the website, probably put it into the gimmicky category.  I would have to test it out, see if I like the software interface, and figure out a good way to set it up so it doesn&#039;t look tacky.

Overall, I&#039;d say the concept could have promise, even for more mainstream couples if it was done well.  That is a huge &#039;if&#039;.  When a guest walks up, the interface can&#039;t be cheesy or clunky.  As for decorating and presenting the hardware, it looks like they need to hire someone with a little more style to help them design it.  In other words, there&#039;s room for competition to come along and improve it.</description>

		<description>Gimmicky and lame. Really, is the traditional guestbook so inadequate? And what on earth are you going to do with a multimedia presentation of people saying &quot;Congratulations, you guys!&quot; and giggling into the camera? Not to mention the sort of stuff that you might end up with once Aunt Erma gets a few drinks in. No thanks.</description>
