Mozcom’s Online Photo Service
I saw this in this morning’s paper. Picatoo is an online photo [printing] service brought to us by Mozcom in partnership with YKL and Air21.
Don’t rejoice yet. It isn’t anything like Flickr. In fact, it’s almost an inverse of what Flickr is doing. Let’s see…
- No tagging
- I’m assuming you can’t share photos either
- Limited storage (photos stored for 3 days only)
I’m certain that this will fail unless they start revising their strategy. This is not for the Friendster generation. It’s ironic that Mozcom, an ISP, hasn’t heard of the so-called “Web 2.0″. Are they still stuck in the 90’s?
According to their FAQ page, you can pay online.
We only accept online payments. We support all the major credit cards, Bancnet/Megalink ATM cards, G-Cash, Smart Money and UCPB my1Time through the PayEasy Online Payment System. We do not accept checks or Cash On Delivery (COD) as of the moment. PayEasy supports offline over-the-counter bank payments at EastWest Bank, Banco de Oro and Chinabank.
It’d work better if they include prepaid schemes. Aren’t they familiar with the success of prepaid internet cards? They work so damn well with dial-up. Can anyone remember Rebel?
I have to steal the idea from Kodak. Photos are still moments. And what do you do with those moments? You store and share them. If you can’t store and share them, you can’t call it an “online photo” service.
At least they still have a good sense of humor.
Q: I don’t have broadband Internet access. How can I send you my photos?
A: You can go to a neighborhood Internet cafe and upload the images from there.
Forgive me for thinking big.
