Yes, meaningful access to the original high-resolution images. By "meaningful" I mean stuff like downloading everything in a zip archive ($10 says fb doesn't do this) to working with iPhoto, Picassa, Flickr, etc. I would even be willing to. pay a couple bucks to download high-res images in a zip file

I promise you if fb doesn't provide decent access to the high-resolution images, DivvyShot will be reinvented by a different founder under a different name and offered up as a paid service. Yep, its that valuable, and Flickr has proven people are willing to pay for this stuff.



We have a service called The Wedding Lens that lets you do this: http://www.theweddinglens.com

Group uploading, full-size resolution uploads and (bulk) downloads.


My partner and I just had a ten year anniversary in Thailand, and we're in the process of sharing our entire groups' photos via Divvyshot. If you had a less wedding-oriented skin/store-front on that website, we'd love to use your service..


Unfortunately our service is only focused on weddings. We originally started with a broader site but then decided to focus on the more lucrative wedding market where people are more willing to pay for services. We have had quite a number of people use the TheWeddingLens for things like birthdays and parties since it still gets the job done (high res photos and bulk downloads). Our long term intent is to expand to the broader market after we attain a decent level of success with weddings.

If you're interested in trying it out I can give you a discount coupon code, just email me at justin [at] theweddinglens.com


My wife and I used WeddingLens for our wedding last year, and we got ~1000 photos within about a week (our wedding had about 60 guests). Well worth the price.


Leo, glad it worked well for you. I've added your testimonial to the site: http://www.theweddinglens.com/testimonials
