I'm one of the co-founders and happy to answer any questions. I hope you'll give the site a try.

At first glance, looks like there are some similarities with Divvyshot. I like the idea of extending the lifetime of the room when you add a friend. Nice way to encourage usage. By the way, I have a service that manages beta invitation programs that could be useful to your site. What is the best way to contact you guys?

  Thanks for the offer on the beta invitation program. We could actually use that, as we don't have a developed "invite system" yet. I'm jonathan@picurio.com

    Thanks. Just sent you an email.

Paying for picture lifetime seems to contra-indicate picurio for just archival. Is that right?
- jonathanberger 17y ago
  I'm not sure I follow completely - we imagine users to keep the most recent photos that need "swapping" in a room and delete old ones. We've learned that sites attempting to store unlimited photos for unlimited time get costs that are too large, even with dropping storage/bandwidth costs.

It'd be interesting to know what the effects of the TC coverage are like. Perhaps it's just me, but I wouldn't touch TC with a long pole after the Twitter "incident". And so I'm curious if the quality of their referrals is worth associating the company and the product with them.

  I'd like to see the breakdown of account sign ups they get from this coverage.
  - dannyr 17y ago
    They'll get a lot of signups but having them as regular users is another matter.
    - vaksel 17y ago
      yeah thats why I'd like to see the breakdown, to see how many end up as paid users

  Many folks disagreed with their decision to post the Twitter docs, but it didn't affect our decision for launch coverage.

The community aspect is neat -- a step in the right direction. What about for users with a large number (3000+) of photos on Flickr (or a similar service)? I don't want to re-upload them, and honestly, I'd prefer the original copy to stay on Flickr. Do you have to make a deep-copy or can you just keep a link to the original source?
- jonathanberger 17y ago
  Right now it's a deep-copy. We have sync with Facebook but if we start to hear from other users like you wanting Flickr we'd want to integrate with that API also. In that case, you wouldn't be re-uploading, rather we'd get them from Flickr's servers directly.

sorry in advance for ass hole techcrunch commenters. But Im betting the actual feedback is worth the trouble.
