Many 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!
Last 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.)
Kinzin has been chosen as one of the three finalists for a Canadian New Media Award: “Excellence in Social Media Applications”! I’m thrilled that the selection committee has chosen Kinzin, and proud to be mentioned together with the other finalists. The team here at Kinzin is working hard to produce fun and safe social networking environments for parents and families, and it’s great to get them some well-deserved recognition.
