Photo Fulfillment for community

I just found qoop, a photo fulfillment site that has partnered with webshots (cnet), photobucket and flickrand allows users to print pictures from these sites into a mini photo book or poster of 1000s of pictures, all at a very nominal fee.

This is a small step towards my dream of digital scrapbooks, but its a sensible monetizing move in that direction. Qoop has the core competency in photo books fulfillment and the photo sites have done well in partnering in what I guess must be a revenue share deal.

The best part of what I like about qoop is that that market to social networks and college crowd, focusing on the community aspect of photo sharing which is an obvious revenue opportunity for photo sites.

I've been waiting for yahoo photos or shutterfly to offer this community aspect of sharing with some ecommerce options.

While Flickrs is integrated with Qoop, just wondering why Yahoo photos is not part of the qoop partnership. Didn't Yahoo Photos relaunch their AJAX version of their site saying they had more photo users ever at Demo 2006
