Photo sharing, early 20th century-style

Today I was flipping through prints of a couple hundred shots I'd uploaded to Kodak via the Adobe Photoshop Services built into Bridge. I didn't realize, though, that Kodak has been in the custom-photo-thing-you-can-mail business for some 100 years. The Morning News features an article about the "real photo postcards" craze (c.1907) brought about by the introduction of a preprinted card back that allowed postcards to be made directly from negatives. The accompanying gallery features some beautiful, ethereal images, and I like this weirdo's sense of humor. [More background here and here.]

Only thing about that photo sharing process is you have to download the software and not a lot of people want to get into that, it can be frustrating.

and let me know what you think.
It's a photo sharing service (along with easy video editing, photo books, storing, etc.)
No downloads.
