This sounds awesome. Can I ask how you go about getting shipping details, etc from the sender if they simply give you a name? Is there more to it?

In the sign up process you enter the shipping info for who you want to send prints to

I'd like to offer an observation about the copy at http://www.pigeonpic.com . The larger slogan, "Never lose touch with friends and family", is vague. The smaller one, "Send photographs through the mail with just a text message", is specific. It makes clear what you offer and also that there is a concrete service here instead of just another smarmy social site. If I were you, I'd drop the first one and put the second…

I'd argue that it's impossible to read the first sentence without reading the second, but maybe that's just my "read the small print" instinct kicking in.

Semi-related, but if you want to print a lot of pics, it's probably just worth it to buy a printer. I just bought this one: http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PRO-100-Professional-Inkjet-Prin... and I'm pretty happy with it. It supports Apple's AirPrint so you can print from iPhone/iPad on your local LAN/WiFi. Good quality prints and a bunch of rebates on this one if you dig around.

Don't see how this is at all related to the post.

> So after I launched this product I had more orders in the first 24 hours than I did in total with my startup that took over a year to develop.

Can you please elaborate on what you did to get orders? I would think it would be many times harder to get a first order from someone you don't know, than writing the app.
