Bebo launches Minicards

In conjunction with printing startup Moo, Bebo (a popular social networking site in the UK) launched Minicards for its members. For around US$19.99, members can convert 100 photos from their social networking profiles into 100 minicards with text and other add-ons.

Moo has its own Bebo profile. In order to promote its service, Moo is giving away 10 free cards for members who want to give it a try.

Will this work? It's hit-or-miss. Flickr became wildly popular as family and friends could view and share photos among themselves and print out their favorite pics. Meanwhile, Facebook has a similar photo-sharing service in which members could choose to order prints of their favorite photos that they see online. However, in my personal experience, most of my friends on campus use Facebook as means to share and view each other's photos rather than using it as a print service. (In most cases, we would just use photo paper and our own color printers to print them out.)
