Webshots sold to American Greetings for $45 million

Webshots, a photo sharing site that I’ve mentioned in posts before, including one earlier today, has been sold by CNET for $45 million to Ohio-based American Greetings.

The Webshots site has a large user base, a popular site blog, and an enormous archive of photos.

Lots of gifts can already be ordered from the site using the images, such as e-cards, so this acquisition seems like a natural move for American Greetings, who are probably best known for their paper greeting cards.

Podcast 6 featured on Webshots

Webshots, one of the photo sharing sites that I like and have written about, has a video front page that features new content.

I’ve been lucky enough to have my latest entry into the podcast album, pacificpelican.us podcast #6, picked for the video page today!

[Here’s a screenshot to show what the video front page looked like the day this was posted, as Webshots has new video coming in all the time.]

I’ve always noticed a good audience for my pictures and videos on Webshots compared to other sites, and I’m sure that this feature will really add a lot more to the numbers of views! Thanks to Jessica and the whole Webshots staff!
