#2I think you might be violating some trademarks with that name...

#3It would be nice if I could also rescue some pictures from facebook too. Double brownie points if your software can automatically remove duplicates in the process.

#4This is great -- I've been looking for a way to get my photos off Flickr before my pro account expires this May. Snapjoy sucked in 2200 photos in just a few minutes.
(The only glitch was when I clicked "Get Started Now" on the flickraft site, it just redirected me to snapjoy.com. I had to manually go into my settings and connect my Flickr account, which triggered the import automagically.)

#5I guess I'm starting to get jaded... I remember when Flickr was the liferaft of Yahoo Photos and then even before that when Yahoo Photos was the liferaft of Kodak Galleries.
I still don't have a photo storage solution that I'm happy with - but I'm hoping that in 10 years or so Google will have indexed the three or four hard drives in my storage unit and placed them into Picasa X.

#6With Flickr, I get unlimited storage for $24/year. I'm probably nearing 100GB of photos there, so in order to store those same photos with Snapjoy, it would cost me $120/year. What's the extra value that I get for an additional $100/year?
And does Snapjoy integrate with iPhoto? I use Flickrfriend for iPhoto now to sync Flickr and iPhoto, but if I don't have a way to sync Snapjoy and iPhoto, it's a non-starter.

#7I fail to see how Flickr is a 'sinking ship'.
btw to all the photo app creators out there: no API - no go.

I'm actually curious if this is a violation. Does anyone know? The font is definitely different and the F is even capitalized on the boat graphic, though the colors are the same and the name "flickr" is in there. It makes me think of those cereal brands that try to make you think they're the popular brand by dancing as closely as trademark law lets them.

The marketing is really funny, but I had the same thought pattern.
I looked on flickr and I have 15,711 pictures. It would cost me $60 a year on Snapjoy. Even if Snapjoy, which is still in beta, is better than good old reliable trusty flickr, that pricing is a non-starter for me.
What I really want to see is someone come up with a one click export to Picassa where I don't have to download all the pix first.

#10Snapfish, DropBox, and several of the other large photo / filing sharing sites are essentially a UI for Amazon's S3 cloud.
I pay for dropbox primarily to store family photos & videos.
In fact the stuff I need to back-up that fits outside that category would fit in a free, or lower priced dropbox plan.
I would switch based on price alone since photos are fairly static, non-changing, and the #1 concern is that they survive a hard disk crash.
I wonder when Amazon just decides to go and own this market by offering a better photo UI, or buys somebody to do it for them.
Amazon has already shown they have no fear of running over profitable customer segments (eg they launched Prime Video while also counting NetFlix as a huge client).
