Here’s a poorly machine-translated transcription. We recommend viewing the actual video, but if you speak the transcription backwards it says, “Paul is dead. Miss him. Miss him.”

” Just too darn near this this — undergo the thing about social networking is they can make a lot of friends that you well. Don’t really know that well this time the sense especially — something can’t beat — in their address and send it in tiger now.

Oh and don’t worry you’re sending a gift that no wait for the recipients get the Senate to address either unless of course they asking for today thank you. Person.”

Send Gifts at a Safe Distance…. (excerpt from Thrillist)

In the online world, it’s always good to be cagey and keep things private — but then how’re your thousands of colleagues on LinkedIn supposed to send you wonderful gifts? With Tigerbow, that’s how.

The perfect accomplice for all your romantic conquest/casual stalking needs, TB’s a confidential gifting site helmed by two UPenn grads that lets you browse for and send real stuff to people you know only virtually (via email, Facebook, Twitter, etc), by acting as a proxy for the giftees’ physical addresses, letting you mail them a present without ever knowing their digs, so they won’t get freaked out until after your pasta sculpture arrives….

Use Tigerbow for Dating! The eFlirtExpert tells you how…. (excerpt)

Men Cannot Survive on Wit Alone

A little chivalry can go a long way with a woman - opening a car door, draping your jacket over her shoulders or sending her flowers unexpectedly, to name a few. Merging chivalry and online dating is a tricky thing though…. How do you make an impact greater than your charming wit?

The eFlirt expert, of course has a solution. And it’s called Tigerbow. Tigerbow allows you to send real gifts virtually. You don’t need to know a match’s mailing address to send them a token of appreciation any more! In fact, you don’t even need to know their EMAIL address, which is key to your safety when you date online. All you have to do is choose a real gift, select “Just gimme a link, I’ll handle the rest!” and provide payment. You send the link to the recipient. Tigerbow provides a secure “stalker proof” platform for your match to enter his/her address, and ships the product. You look like a hero because not only have you put the thought (and funds) into sending your match a gift, but you have proved that you’re on the cusp of technology by knowing about this gem of a website. Tigerbow will even send an email announcing the gift for you if you happen to know your match’s FaceBook, Twitter or email address….

Tigerbow Powers Passions Network’s ‘Real Gifts’ Program

Tigerbow has partnered with Passions Network (http://passionsnetwork.com) to power Passions Network’s ‘Real Gifts’ program. Now, members of Passions Network’s collection of 100+ dating and community sites can send real gifts to other members without knowing any of the other member’s personal information. All the member needs to know is the gift recipient’s username. The ‘Real Gifts’ program lets members stand out by sending someone real flowers, books, movies, candy, baked goods, t-shirts, and more. No personal information is ever available to either member in the process. The sender of the gift will never be given access to the recipients name or address…and likewise, the recipient will never be given the personal information of the sender.

Here is how it works:

1) On any Passions Network site, click the ‘send a real gift’ button on a member’s profile page. You will be taken to a catalog of gifts.

2) Once you choose a gift, you will enter your billing information and a message for the recipient. ***Please note that you will not be charged unless the recipient agrees to accept the gift.

3) A message will be sent to the Passions Network member via the Passions internal email system letting them know you would like to give them a real gift. If the recipient accepts your gift, they will then enter their shipping information so that we know where to send the gift. At this point, your credit card is charged.

4) Finally, we ship it. We won’t tell you (the sender) where it’s going, but we will let you know when it’s been accepted, shipped, and received; i.e., when you should expect your recipient to return the favor and send you a thank you gift.

Again, at no point will either the sender or the recipient have access to the other party’s personal information. Even when tracking the package, no information about the sender or receiver will be provided.

Tigerbow is working with several other communities to power their properties and will announce these partnerships as they go live. To learn more about becoming a Tigerbow partner or to learn more about the Tigerbow API, please email bizdev@tigerbow.com

Tigerbow Gets “Busted” - Send T-Shirts as Gifts, No Address Required

We are pleased to announce our newest gift category. Tigerbow has partnered with BustedTees so that you can send gifts from a collection of hundreds of real t-shirts and hoodies (and a few other things) to your friends via email, Facebook, and Twitter. As usual, no physical addresses are required. Browse our collection here - and be sure to mouseover the images to see the t-shirt prints more closely: http://bit.ly/8IRq2

BustedTees opened in 2004 and is entirely run by the guys from CollegeHumor.com. They decided to start making t-shirts because they want people to have fun, laugh, look good, feel comfortable, get good jobs, get sweaty dancing, and go home with someone who also did those things. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves (so we didn’t - we just copied it from their website).

Most of the t-shirts are around $10-20 or so. Here are a few we already own ourselves - so don’t send them to us (and if you send them to your friends, tell them to call us before they wear them out)….
