Hi everyone,
I received a brochure on this site in the mail. It appears to be legit,
and very nicely done. They advertise that it is a FREE location for photo
exchange, and photos are downloadable for personal use.
He has placed known photos by surname, "mystery photos" by the surname of
the album owner, or by a place where the photo originated or was found. I
know I have a few "who knows who these people are?" photos. <G>
I'm sure the man has a way to make money in the long run with the site,
which is perfectly fine with me (I believe he plans to do some advertising
for one thing). But if so, it appears that the photos themselves remain
your property and that part of the site is free. See their "conditions of
use" which seems to protect both them and the submitter of the photo.
Please look it over and post your opinion to this list. If you note
anything "fishy" we'd like to know, too.
By the way, you'll note he also has the html to add his banner to a web
page so that people can search for their family photos.
