I’ve been noodling on the problem of how to get photos on frames.  FrameAlbum fills the need for folks with internet capable frames (and a little tech knowledge).  What about all the folks without internet capable frames, or, don’t have the skills to adjust their frame (or Grandma’s frame 1,200 miles away) to use the FrameAlbum service?

Replace the internet connection with a memory card

Any digital photo frame will have at least one memory card slot.  What if you could setup Grandma’s frame with your Flickr/Picasa/other photos on FrameAlbum and then have a memory card sent directly to Grandma!  If your Grandma is anything like mine was she has mad cookie baking skillz but was stumped by pretty much anything with more than one knob. This method would not require internet,, wifi, or any other wizardry beyond pushing a memory card into a slot.

Time to pay the piper

This would not be a free service.  There would be a fee to cover the cost of the memory card, shipping and a little something for the gnomes that will fill the cards with your photos.  This could work as a subscription with a regular update card sent out monthly/quarterly, or a one-shot deal.

Thoughts?

I haven’t built any of this yet.  Before I go down this road I’d like to see if there is any interest in such a service.  Please share your thoughts in the comments below, or contact me directly.

Thanks for your support of FrameAlbum!
