Owners
of Photopoint accounts are today receiving an e-mail letter addressed
from Ed Bernstein, the CEO of Photopoint to inform them that Photopoint
will be switching to a subscription based service. "...starting
in mid-May, PhotoPoint.com will no longer be a free service".
They will be charging an annual fee of $9.95 (existing members, limited
time offer only) for storage of up to 1,000 images or $19.95 with 25 free
prints bundled. It's a sad day for the photo sharing community but it's
no surprise to those of us who have been following the fortunes of the
market or who understand the economics of such a huge project.
