Beautiful design. Functions well,
As mentioned a few times here, the bookmarklet is a big barrier to entry. I think a walkthrough video would help that substantially. I can't imagine a regular person understanding they can just browse around the web shopping and your site can pick it up. Browser plugins are also a big entry barrier to people who aren't very savvy.
I wonder if you linked out to sites like amazon in a frame where you persisted a top bar around those sites as the user browsed. Might be janky though. *edit: just noticed amazon throws a JS error when framed. damnit.
Another thought is perhaps you cobble some api+scraping stuff together and provide the user a simple search+add to registry function inside your site.
So is your business model based on affiliate programs for all those retailers? How are you tracking whether or not something was purchased?
