Disclaimer: I'm from an affected area (but all good now except for cable/internet).

Why should they do more? They already open source a lot of their software (https://github.com/photo) and they are giving free lifetime accounts. Should they also send blankets? Or is that not enough, pillows too (Emmanuel Levinas would take your side).

The penny is their verification method (this has issues I will be emailing them about).

Yes they are seeking some publicity for it, but I'd say that's a fair trade (their site has links to a Scoble video and a Techcrunch writeup so this isn't exactly how they are launching).

I'm not a user of their product yet, but since I am in an affected area (and evaluating options for storing baby photos) I might give it a whirl.

Appreciate the comment. We've already received comments that our list of affected zip codes is not comprehensive enough and are adding more.

Email support@openphoto.me with issues and we'll get them sorted out.
