23 Photo Sharing: Introducing 23

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
23 Photo Sharing: Introducing 23: "Is 23 completely free? Yes, you can use 23 photo sharing services absolutely free. Our free account has full functionality and is by no means a crippled version of our product. We also have a paid account option available, the 23plus account. The difference between the free and paid account is a matter of upload-quotas. On the free account you have a maximum of 20 MB upload per month (measured in bandwidth) whereas the 23plus account have an unlimited monthly upload quota. How to get a plus account? First, sign up for a free account, and start using the tool. That's the best way to get to know what 23 is all about. Try and upload some photos, and play around with some of the features. If you like using it (and we hope you do!), you should definitely consider an upgrade. It's rather cheap (29 EUR a year), and the flexibility you have with an unlimited upload quota is unbeatable. Also, it supports our work and makes it possible for us to continue the development of the application. If you, however, choose to keep your free account as it is, you're welcome to do so. How can I order prints? We've established something new with 23, something you could call a self-organized gateway to your local print shop. What this actually means is that we've made a system that lets people hook up with a print shop they already know and trust (or to try a local alternative for a change), and thereby to make transactions be based on local business. Prints with 23 is a marketplace, and our database of print shops is rapidly growing. But you do not have to wait for that. You can enter your own favorite print shop into the system, and this shop will, if they accept the transaction, be available to other users as well. We hope our users will find this rather un-traditional way of merging global web services with local area business useful and in many ways better than traditional mail-order services."
