Have you ever wanted to make a small gesture of some kind for one of your friends, but couldn’t get to them in-person? Well, now you can – a website called Treater launched this month, offering users the ability to send small gifts via the web, directly to a person’s smartphone.
Well, technically you’re not sending a gift – you’re actually sending the exact dollar amount for what the item costs. So you could potentially send “$4.50 for a latte from Starbucks or a $9.50 bacon cheeseburger from Five Guys.”
CEO for Treater, Jeff Ross, said the purpose behind the website was to give people the ability to do more than simply ‘like’ or send a message. It makes sense, really – how many people post on your Facebook wall saying happy birthday? This way, one of your friends can make a simple, kind gesture.
The site allows users to log in with their Facebook accounts, and brings in Facebook contacts. It also makes suggestions based on your friends’ timeline events – a birthday, an engagement, etc. Have a friend in another state? How cool would it be to actually send them a cupcake for their birthday, even if you can’t see them in-person?
Overall, we’re excited to see how Treater does in coming months.
