I'm curious how/why the shutterfly support came about. I couldn't find any docs about it on Shutterfly. I'm not complaining about it, I'm very happy about it as it made it very easy for my wife to get prints of our twins. Does someone get a 'kickback' when anyone uses that feature? -- Jeff Macdonald <jef...@vi...> Into birding? Check out http://www.migratus.com |

They only kickback if you refer people to them. It seems to me that since we are doing 3/4 of the work (hosting) that we should get a bigger one for hosting the images. This is something that bugs me a bit and so I disabled shutterfly ordering ability. -Scott On Fri, 2002-12-27 at 13:12, Jeff Macdonald wrote: > I'm curious how/why the shutterfly support came about.

I did see that on their web site, but I got the impression that a certain user/id was needed in order to account for those referals. Since those values are hard coded in IDS, who gets the $6? > It seems to me that > since we are doing 3/4 of the work (hosting) that we should get a bigger > one for hosting the images. Well, I'm using IDS for my family photos on my personal web server, so that's not an issue for me. My thinking was that my family members could order the prints they want instead of my wife ordering hundreds of dollors of prints and sending them to every family member! :-) > > This is something that bugs me a bit and so I disabled shutterfly > ordering ability. > > -Scott > > On Fri, 2002-12-27 at 13:12, Jeff Macdonald wrote: > > I'm curious how/why the shutterfly support came about.

Nope, no kickbacks. An IDS user noticed that "My Photo Gallery" (http://freshmeat.net/projects/myphotogallery/) supported print ordering via Shutterfly. There was no mention of the ordering system "API" on their website, so I asked the author of "My Photo Gallery" for more information. He gave me a contact within Shutterfly, who turned out to be quite supportive. I've attached that e-mail exchange below.
