Automatic Grams from Flickr & Facebook

Monday, July 12th, 2010

We’re very excited to announce a new set of features today that we still smile at when we see it in action: Automatic Albums. We’ve spoken with hundreds of parents and they consistently tell us that they love Lil’Grams, though they really love their Flickr and Facebook accounts for storing their photos.

Our mission is to help you be the best memory maker, no matter where your photos are. To that end, your Flickr and Facebook albums will be imported, beautified, and delivered automatically as you create them – just setup your keywords and we’ll do the rest.

Going Automatic

Get Started Now!

Getting started is super simple:

  1. Load up your Accounts (preferences > accounts)
  2. Setup your keywords (words we should keep track of)
  3. We check your account every few hours or so for new matching albums
  4. We create new MediaGrams and deliver them to loved ones

Brand New User Guides

As part of this new release, we’ve created 2 new guides to answer all your questions:

Import Albums from Facebook, Flickr, or Picasa with One Click

Monday, May 24th, 2010

We’ve found that more and more of our parents would like to share and manage their media in a number of different ways. For many, this means having better ways to utilize the services you’ve already been using like Facebook, Flickr and Picasa.

We’re happy to let you know that we’ve added one-click importing for your remote albums. It’s very simple to use and will help you share hard-to-link-to albums from any service with ease while keeping them a part of your baby’s timeline.

To import new albums, simply click the New Album tab in your Dashboard:

New Album Tab

As soon as you click “Import” we’ll:

1. Create a new Media Gram
2. Link the photos to your baby’s timeline
3. Send out notifications to anyone who’s waiting

Here’s a sample of what gets mailed out:

That’s it, a few clicks and hundreds of photos can be imported and delivered to your loved ones!

More Ways to Share

Monday, May 10th, 2010

Gram Sharing OptionsWe’ve always provided a number of different automagic ways to share memories with loved ones, from emails to facebook notices, to tweets.  We’ve gotten a number of requests for some other ways to spread the word.

As of today, if you browse to any single gram’s page, you can quickly and easily share that gram with anyone – even if they’re not in your address book.  Don’t worry, though, only the people marked as Parents in your Address Book even see this option.

There are 3 ways to share:

Public Link

This link can be given to anyone via email, IM, or more.  The special thing about this link is that it won’t require and kind of sign in – so use it carefully!

Email To

Sometimes, you really want to send someone the great emails that we already send to you but forwarding emails around can mess up the styling.  Just type an email address in here and we’ll deliver a brand new one to your friend.  While they can see the email, they’ll still have to log in to see the real thing.

Facebook Share

We know most of our parents are big users of Facebook and we want to make sure your friends there stay up to date.  If you click the Share link, you’ll be given the option of sending a link out to the gram.  These links will still require that your friend log in, though.

We’re still trying to figure out if you’d like more public or private links, or the option to choose.  We welcome any feedback you have in helping shape this feature.
