Wink by
Shutterfly:
Here’s a new way to share your
photographic memories for Valentine’s Day or any day. The people at
Shutterfly have introduced Wink, a web based service that allows you to create
printed photo strips using pictures from your phone, camera or social networks
like Facebook and Flickr. The photo strips (2”x6”) are reminiscent of
the ones you get in old-fashioned photo booths. They take just minutes to
create and Wink will print them on high quality photo paper and deliver them
anywhere in the world. If you don’t have your friends’ addresses
handy, Wink will e-mail them and get the information for you. They will even
email them a preview of the strip, all for less than the cost of most greeting
cards, what could be simpler?
