I have no idea how long shutterfly has been around for but I just discovered it and it looks super cool.
What is it you ask? It's a website which you can upload your photos to and make various projects out of them. You can either order straight up prints or stylize your prints with borders and text. Best part is, there borders aren't all cheezy. I would actually use some of them. Some....I said, some!
You can also make coffee table type photo books which I know other places like Qoop and iPhoto offer but with shutterfly you don't have to work through flickr - you upload your pictures directly onto their site - and there are way more options as far as layout, design , borders, captions, etc. than iPhoto and in case you need one more reason - It's cheaper than both of 'em.
You can get a really nice chocolate brown leather cover on a 20 page album (you choose how many shots you want per page) for only $39.99 USD. That's a deal!
You can also do other fun things like greeting cards (which they will even mail out to your friends for you. All you have to do is put in the addresses and they go straight there!), personalized childrens books, DVD shows of your photos, calendars and a ton of other things.
Another handy feature is that you can save your projects and return to them later so you don't have to finish putting together an entire album in one sitting.
No, I'm not getting paid by them. I'm just excited about it. Now you'll have to 'scuse me...I'm off to make my first album. I'll let you know how it looks when I get it!
