Show HN: PicDigest - Send social photos to people who aren't on social networks
picdigest.com
Great Idea! I could send photos this way to my parents. good job!
Love it. A much better idea than getting my wife's parents on Facebook just to see pics.

My inspiration for PicDigest: the hassle of getting my mom and dad and grand mom (et al) on Instagram and showing them how it works...just so they can see all the pics I post of my new son.
This would also be cool with Dropbox. I know people have shared albums with new pics added every-so-often.
And a printed option (someday) would be nice too. Something like the recipient can one-click to get a printed version sent to their house (and I pay).
But very cool anyway.
Isn't there a way to tag the photo as ok to send?
One possible flaw here is that it only sends public images. I don't post pics (the exact pics I want to send) of my daughter publicly. Isn't there a way to tag the photo as ok to send?
Something like Instagram hashtags or tags in Facebook would make it a mind-full service, meaning you have to think about it. Although that means it might not be for everyone, I do think the people that it fits will love it all the more.
Thanks for pointing that out, though! :)

your grand mom is on email? neat. This would also be cool with Dropbox. I know people have shared albums with new pics added every-so-often. And a printed option (someday) would be nice too.

And photo printing for your recipients will be added before the oh-so-important photo printing holidays (Christmas and Hanukah).
Thanks for the ideas!
