Some of the designers and directors here at the studio I work at got some SnapVillage mailers today. It's to promote their t-shirt contest, and also just promote the site in general, prices, subscriptions, etc. It's a square-shaped orange 4-panel fold-out.

Nice piece, and good to see some promo going on. Hopefully this gets more buyers signed up.

I hate to say I've got good feelings about Snapvillage because if I do they'll probably pull the plug next week and I'll look stupid, however -  I've got good feelings about SnapVillage (what . I've looked stupid before) but I sure do wish they'd hurry up and implement FTP.

Don't forget it is Bill Gates company. It has to be dorky

i think the fact that it is owned by microsoft gives a lot of credibility.  they should have NO problem getting backing support and advertising shouldn't really cost them much either, at least no in comparison to what the other sites are up against.

Microsoft could put a link in for example word, internet explorer, or the windows interface that says 'find images for this... document / blog / background' and then send them to snapvillage.  They could have this on 90% of the computers in the world.  If another site wanted to get that done, ... well that would be impossibly expensive.

Ok.. thanks for the correction.  But, I do remember snap village having a link on the microsoft page.  I guess perhaps he wouldn't integrate them as much as I would like but the marketing potential must still be in his back pocket.
