Yes, people who:

A) don't want to be everybody's fb friends/g+/etc who were in a friend's birthday party, but still wants to share the photos she took at the party

B) easy for anybody to share an album and other to participate - usually after such a birthday as mentioned above, one person's photos are in fb, other one's in G+, third's in dropbox... in other words, people who wants to share together.

So basically everyone who has a need to share photos but they don't have a common service to do so.

Hi, sounds nice. Have you checked projects that are working on this such as: Cluster, BirdBox, Photo Circle, Adobe - GroupPix, SeaHorse, EverSnap, CapsuleCam. How do you differentiate your product from those services?

Yeah, I have check some of them.

- Cluster, one needs to install app on it (needs iphone or android).

- BirdBox, one needs to install app on it (and only iphone)

- Adobe - GroupPix, is pretty close but one needs an app on it

- SeaHorse - one needs to login, have an app

- EverSnap - nice one, but needs an app for it

- CapsuleCam - needs an app

So yes, so my idea here is that one would not need to install yet another app or register.

(Never heard Photo Circle before. Will check it out.)

Kudos for providing a web-based solution and breaking the annoying trend of requiring yet another app to accomplish something!
