Yes, PicPlum does offer familiar services like photo sharing and printing, but it's real differentiation is a focus on quality, not quantity. Some other sites out there promote unlimited free photo storage, which is great, but PicPlum wants you to pick your very best pictures to print and share with your friends and family. 

Right now, it's a web-based service (a mobile app is in the works) that lets you easily upload photos from your PC or you can even email selected images from your mobile device to photos@picplum.com and they're automatically added into your account.

You can set up your account with recipients or Facebook contacts, and just automatically have new photos sent directly to them on a pay-as-you-go basis--perfect for the grandparents and other family members who still prefer actual prints to digital images, or emailed photos to those shared on Facebook.

PicPlum's main focus is on the user experience and it shows. The interface is really easy to use and the site offers little extras like personalized greetings with the photos that make it a little more special. For example, if you want to send prints to one of your Facebook contacts, but don't have a mailing address, PicPlum will go ahead and request one for you.

You can even print your favorite Instagram photos by simply adding them to your account. Yay!

As for pricing, it is certainly a bit more expensive than other photo printing sites: a 4x6 image starts at $0.50 and prices go upwards from there. But because you're not necessarily doing huge bulk uploads and are likely choosing "plum" pictures that you really want to treasure and print, it may be worth it to you to spend a few cents more. -Jeana
