Sweet. Flickr Prints.

Published by jim on 10/27/2005 in

I’d been so busy rewiring the manroom and catching up on my seriously neglected inbox over the past few days that I missed flickr’s announcement that you can order prints now (and have them mailed or pick them up at Target).

The blog entry from Stewart also mentions the QOOP service (which I’ve already used and the posters are great) as well as DVDs and US Stamps. He says:

We’re still getting started on this, but the goal is to open it up completely and give you the biggest variety of choices when it comes to doing things with your photos.

Which is as it should be and any company that doesn’t get this will die a painful death. Sadly TiVO and Netflix seem to be headed in the direction of not getting this.

Oh, and 4×6 prints are $0.15 a piece and you can get matte finish. Nice.

    Sadly, Netflix and TiVo are limited by the industries that own the copyright on the content that they sell. That’s why Netflix pulled its download service for the time being…they couldn’t get the jerks in Hollywood to agree on plan. :-(

    Flickr, on the other hand, is only limited by its users’s wants and needs. In that case, the only limit is how fast they can get the software written.

    i have been waiting for this. i don’t know why they did not offer this earlier. other sites like Kodak Easy Share have the same service and friends can order prints as well.
