Elizaabeth Christian writes \”Is the death of Photopoint an Archives, Library issue ?
Started as a dot com venture capital business by one intrepid visionary, providing unlimited storage in albums for photographs from everywhere, by the time it closed this month it was the repository of an amazing photographic archive, well organized, with editing options, and most important online data for the photographs.
Some people are just finding out their precious photos are gone..they trusted, later paid.
Some links on Photopoints recent demise.In my opinion, this is an in credible international archive of photos, especially US photos, and some nonprofit should step in to preserve the archive, and then sell discs of albums back to the users….assumng the archive still exists.
Warning about \”free\” on the net. People just will not pay if it was once \”free\” it seems.
