The value proposition of "take photos of baby with iPhone; grandparents get them automatically in the mail" makes so much sense to me. Glad to see PicWing livin

  I completely agree. Most of the web 2.0 picture world involves pictures sent digitally to all of the social networks and smart devices. I think this leaves out an important market or two in the photo sharing industry. Most notably, the technologically unfamiliar (grandma and grandpa), and the photo purists (people who want physical prints for display, but can't be bothered to print out inferior quality shots on inferior printers). Many popular photo sharing services degrade image quality for transmission and storage. (See: Facebook and iPhone)

    Most notably, the technologically unfamiliar (grandma and grandpa)... Actually I wouldn't be surprised if the strongest driver in motivating older people to learn about computers was the single use-case of viewing photos of grandchildren on facebook.

      Wouldn't be surprised if Skyping with their grandchildren is stronger. ;)
