Photo Op

Picplum lets you selectively share prints with friends and family

Photo sharing online. It's such a great idea when you want to send Grandma that pic of little Eva taking her first steps.

But when the boss catches a glimpse of you dancing on the tables during that girls weekend in Vegas, it's not so cool, is it?

Though Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and other social media sites tempt us to overshare, not all pictures are meant for all eyes. Besides, what if Grandma is seriously old-school and only knows Twitter to be what the birds do outside her window every morning?

That's where Picplum comes in. It's a no-hassle, minimal-commitment, analog version of sharing pics with friends and family. Sign up for a membership (as little as $7/month), upload or email the photos you want your folks to receive, and Picplum will print and mail those photos only to the people you designate every month.

It’s a simple way to make sure you get your pics literally get into the hands of the people you want them to reach.

And Grandma gets to bring back the family photo album.
