ScrnShots: Share your inspiration.

Its official, ScrnShots.com will be launching to the public on May 6, 2008 at 10:00am PST.

The Big Question - Free?

At launch, ScrnShots.com will be completely free. Users will be able to upload unlimited screenshots to the system at no cost. On June 6, 2008 we will launch our ScrnShots PRO (paid) accounts which will include private functionality (ie: private screenshots, private groups) and unlimited screenshot uploads. At that time, basic accounts will be given a monthly cap on the number of allowed screenshot uploads. The cap will be high and won’t affect any screenshots previously uploaded to the system. Although we haven’t confirmed a final price structure for the PRO accounts, they will be inline with other image hosting services. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to express them in the comments section.

New Features

On top of what’s already on the site, we’re adding a few new features for the launch. These include:

•  Contacts - This is super useful. Once you add friends as contacts, you get a feed of their screenshots directly into your profile. No more wading through pages and pages of screenshots to find your friends.
• Ratings - This will be the first iteration of our rating system. At launch, screenshots will have a five point rating that all logged in members will be able to rate them on. Of course, you’ll be able to sort your screenshots by rating and the system will surface the highest rated every week.
• Activity Feeds - Profiles and dashboards will include feeds of recent activity by you, your contacts and your screenshots.
• New Home & Explore Pages - The content on the home page and explore pages will be expanded on to feature the best screenshots on the site as well as make it easier to find/browse the screenshots that your looking for.

We’re super excited to get more users on the system and start growing the design community at ScrnShots.com.
