Love it. A much better idea than getting my wife's parents on Facebook just to see pics.

My inspiration for PicDigest: the hassle of getting my mom and dad and grand mom (et al) on Instagram and showing them how it works...just so they can see all the pics I post of my new son.

your grand mom is on email? neat.

This would also be cool with Dropbox. I know people have shared albums with new pics added every-so-often.

And a printed option (someday) would be nice too. Something like the recipient can one-click to get a printed version sent to their house (and I pay).

But very cool anyway.

Dropbox will definitely be an added option in the future. Along with Flickr, Photobucket, Google+, etc.

And photo printing for your recipients will be added before the oh-so-important photo printing holidays (Christmas and Hanukah).

Thanks for the ideas!

You might want to partner up with picplum [1] for the photo-printing part. They already have an API [2].
