If I were to commit to using their product I would want to know that my daily photos were portable and "high" resolution. I’ve been doing a daily photo for almost three years now.

I'm glad to see everyone commenting on our site. Just to clear up a few things. We are a self-funded startup. Our vision is that people will use flickaday.com to chronicle there life in the form of a very simplistic diary or blog; that they can share anywhere online. To answer a couple questions about the legals on the site. We are currently in public beta so a lot of the current text is used as a placeholder for the longer (soon to come) legal agreements. However, I assure you the legals are pretty standard. Hey Guys,

Taking the photos, organizing them and then editing them into a movie would have taken hundreds of hours in aggregate." given about 15-20 seconds to take each photo, the fact that they were (obviously) taken in a chronological order (greatly decreasing/eliminating "organization" time), and the abundance of software that turns digital photo albums into "dvd slideshows" (i.e., videos), I think you are seriously exaggerating the time it took to do this. It was a brilliant idea (though he's not the first to come up with it, maybe the first to have a viral web video, but certainly not the first for the general idea), but not as intense a process as you seem to think. “The amount of work that went into the video is staggering.

Another possibility would be search for "similiar faces". I could see this growing into a dating site once it has enough users. Another alternative (thuogh it doesn't have to be mutually exclusive) could be to link the comments one writes each day to the features of that day's photo and try to do some learning to predict not only what ones mood will be on certain day, but also what one would look like. Will I have a bad hair day next thursday morning? To me it seems this is the sort of things a blog company should provide. Livejournal, blogger ... they're all too enamored on their php code but bottom line is, new versions are pretty much the same old stuff and features like flickaday's are lacking. I think the idea as some have pointed out is viral. That's all what's needed. @Tan The Man: Special effects could be one (iChat comes to my mind).
