Invitr.com - So Everyone Can see Your Flickr Photos
Invitr is a Flickr related application which simply extends your sharing capabilities. With Invitr you can share your Flickr photos with non-Flickr members; so photos that have been catagorized as private can now be sent and shared with anyone you choose. Invitr also lets you set up an expiration date for your photos, so after your predetermined date that photo is no longer available for viewing. To use Invitr just log into your Flickr account as usual, select the photos you wish to share and fill out the email address info. Those who receive the photo links can only view items, commenting etc is not allowed. The URL sent out by Invitr with your photos can be passed along, so if you're super secretive about your photos Invitr isn't for you, but for everyone else who wishes to share their beautiful Flickr pics without having to goad their grandma and friends into joining, Invitr's a treat.
In their own words:
"Invitr introduces the only missing feature of the almighty Flickr. Invitr allows you to specify one (or more) private pictures to be shown to as many/little people as you want. Think of an extension of the Public, Friends, Family and Private status."
Why it might be a killer:
Invitr is simple but effective. Takes care of that annoying little fact of registration and sharing; you can share your photos with whomever you want.
Some questions:
How's the site going to make a profit? Is it really a useful app that people will use? People could just sign up with Flickr and then they wouldn't need Invitr.
