[...] Ho John Lee states on his blog that the technology should be offered as a web service, not as yet another photo storage site. He has a point, and I can see also it working in a technology licensing model: let Flickr or Pixagogo run it locally and let them pay per million pictures treated.

I would love to talk to them about their new hosting photo hosting system, because we are developing a similar video/text application that provides an index of descriptions for videos.

Thanks for the comments — I’d be interested in trying it out when you start testing.

Ho John –
You’re exactly right. The world doesn’t need another photo album site – period. If Ojos were going down that path, we never would have funded it. But Munjal is one smart cookie. That’s why this “site” is not competing with all the other photo sites. It truly is a broader web service. Don’t confuse the discussion of a couple of features with *being* a feature.

I can’t say much more at this point. But note we share your instincts.

Ho John Lee,

Thanks for the mention. I’d love to have you in our Alpha/ Beta testing group. Your feedback about this being a horizontal web service is spot on.
