Sending Mom Your Favourite Photos of the Grandchildren For Mother’s Day

First BirthdayMany families seem to be living further apart more than ever. The world is smaller, travel is less of an issue and many young people seek adventure and opportunity, which quite often leads us away from our families. A lot of us end up missing out on some momentous occasions.

With Mother’s Day quickly approaching, and the quick fix idea of a flowers delivery has been used, abused and grown tiresome and unoriginal, how about the latest pictures of the kids in the mail?

Kinzin’s automated print delivery service is a great way to send The Proud Grandmother your favourite updated pictures of the kids. And who doesn’t prefer to receive mail rather than an email attachment, especially on Mother’s Day!

Sign up and upload your kids’ photos on Kinzin.com. You can upload images from your own computer, or you can import your photo albums from your Facebook account or from Flickr too. Once you have a few photos collected in the space, subscribe your mom with her mailing address. For just $3 a month ($4 in Canada) you can quickly and easily send her 10 photos of your choice. It’s more personal and most moms would love it. By subscribing her through the mail in Kinzin, you can continue to add photos into your stream and every month she will receive 10 new photos in the mail!

Kinzin wants to connect the whole family, online and off, through every generation, providing you with a private way to share photos with your loved ones. Sign up with Kinzin today!

Blog Talk Radio: Kinzin Is The Better Choice For Privately Sharing Photos

Listen to Motherhood Uncensored on internet talk radioLast week Blog Talk Radio featured an episode about photography and kids with “Taking Better Pictures of Your Kids”. The show featured Tracey Clark and Kate Inglis from the newly launched site Shutter Sisters, a photo blog full of passion and beauty in imagery and words, giving away their tips and tricks in photography. Inevitably, a question from a listener came up about online privacy and the security of posting pictures of your children online. The show’s host, Kristen Chase, refers to Kinzin as a great choice if you’re looking for a private network to securely post photos of your kids, saying:

“… there are a bunch of really great private websites out there… called Kinzin.com and they are invitation-only access”.

Kate goes on to mention some of Michael Fergusson’s thoughts on online safety in photography: to say the internet is inherently bad is the same to say that kissing is inherently bad because it can spread disease. True enough. You can listen to the show on Blog Talk Radio in its entirety. (The Kinzin mention comes at about the 22:00 minute mark of the show.)

Private Family Photo Sharing: Connecting All Your Generations With A New, Refreshing Feel

kinzinKinzin is transforming how families share the most important little people in their lives with the latest launch of Kinzin.com.

Privacy and security online is important to many of us, especially to parents. Kinzin understands this better than anyone and has created an online space for you to share your kids’ photos safely and as private as you deem: you control who gets to see your content. Inviting people to your social network, or rather, subscribing any of your friends or family members into your space, is one of the features that puts Kinzin ahead of other photo-sharing networks.

kinzinThere is another quality that is probably the most exciting new feature in this launch: social networks in the mail! For Grandma, who doesn’t have a computer or doesn’t know the first thing about social networks or “online communities”, is now able to be a part of your life online. In just a few clicks (and a truly unbelievable low cost), your family members can receive prints of your top 10 images each month, chosen by you, VIA THE MAIL! All of those headaches or concerns over certain family member’s dial-up, download times and those phone calls we all inevitably receive, “How do I login again?” are out the window. There’s something to be said about “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”. Kinzin has created a really easy way for anyone you choose to receive the cutest, up-to-date images of your kids through the postal service. I’ve given up trying to teach some of the folks in my parent’s generation (and up) how to enter a URL or surf and search. Sign me up for monthly prints!!

There are some other really neat features that help to create that perfect snapshot in time of your kids. You can add status messages, photo titles and descriptions and the family can comment on photos as well. All of these features are available for each and every image so that every memory can easily be captured and each moment can be put into precise context, not just uploaded as part of an album in a bank of photos.

We all need special tools to be able to share the kinds of private information and experiences about our kids - Kinzin provides this for you in the most perfect package - whether you use Facebook, Flickr, or like Grandma, good ol’ fashioned mail!
