Great work, the site truly looks excellent. I love the ability to keep a group updated, with pictures, in realtime.

#22Hey guys, it's Sam (divvyshot's creator). The site's a piece of crap right now, but hopefully things will be better over the coming weeks. Release early and frequently, right?

Consider adding captcha on the signup, to prevent automation!
Also, can users email their photos, even if they are not registered?

Allow email addresses to contain a plus. It's something a lot of gmail users like to do.

#24A little YC easter egg: If you keep refreshing until you get to the little girl's birthday photos, you'll notice all of the names are of the YC principals + baby George.
Nice touch.

#25Divvyshot centers on events -- not albums by individual photographers. You can quickly post a few pics and get folks uploading their photos to the same event with almost no effort. Check out the immediate photo upload -- just drag and drop into your browser! And you can click to download a zipfile of all photos in an event, at full resolution. Think of it as a new spin on photo sharing, similar to how Posterous is a…
It's drag and drop from the finder to the "Mini Divvy" app. Then it does some sort of synchronization to everywhere that's registered interest in that "event".
Not sure what the use cases are, and whether it justifies a whole other app, but it's an interesting spin on sharing. You don't just get notified of something, you just get the file.

#26I like the simplicity, but I'm not yet sold on posting event photos here instead of Facebook. Maybe the ToS would be a deciding factor. Speaking of which, what are the ToS, especially with regard to content rights?
Bug: the Java upload applet won't load for me.

#29Your branding is at odds w/ your mission statement. High res photos speaks to pro-sumers. Party pics speaks to grainy iphone shots.
Sure, party pictures are one thing, and facebook handles those quite well. I don't believe Divvyshot stands to take that market from facebook. That said, if you've ever travelled overseas, it's likely you've had friends and family ask for your photos... and facebook just doesn't cut it with that use case IMHO.

Fixed, thanks for the heads up.
