Hey, man -- I'm not going to shit on you for advertising. But I am curious why my zip code, 06840, is not in the list of affected zip codes. We were fucking whalloped. We're in CT, right next to Norwalk (listed), Darien (listed), and Stamford (listed).

No worries. We got our list from one of the .gov sites but realize it's not comprehensive. I've added your zip code and updated the site to let others know to contact us of they find more missing.

#23Having browsed both the linked page and the main page, I'm still fuzzy on what this service does. Even if it's free, why do I want to deal with yet another photo-sharing account? I could use flickr or iCloud to back up my photos for free and make them shareable - they have limited size by default but I can pay more if I need more. I think DropBox has a photo syncing feature too, though I don't use it. If people sign…
We're working on our messaging :). By decoupling the application from the photo storage you essentially increase the options you have for keeping your photos for a longer time. If Yahoo! shuts down Flickr you have to figure out what to do. Download a zip file of a few thousand photos? Then what? Upload them somewhere else? Our approach is multi-fold (hence us working on the messaging). If Dropbox shuts down or increa…
My photos are initially and primarily on my Mac, then I upload selected albums (that I expect/intend to share) to flickr. And also synchronize a substantial fraction of them to my iDevices. If flickr gets shut down then yes, I'd expect I have to upload them somewhere else...which I can do from my Mac.
It sounds like your target audience is people who don't ever put their photos in one central location under their control (say, an iPhoto library), don't back up that location, and care a lot about preserving not just their photos but the online comments received on those photos?
When you say "Your mobile apps will continue to work how they always have. it's 100% transparent for you" - Um, what problem is it that you're solving here? What sort of "mobile apps" are you expecting would fail when dropbox or flickr shuts down?

I believe it's an OR, not an AND. If you don't have one spot where you keep all your photos then we help you do that. Not sure if you're married or not but my wife's photos are not on my Mac and not in my iPhoto.

Your Flickr or Dropbox app.
