Presto subscribers have asked if we could develop a way to more easily get photos to their Presto Printing Mailbox users. That easier way is now here -- announcing a new free service: Presto DailySmile™ which lets you deliver a photo-a-day from Facebook or your computer to a Printing Mailbox.
If you are a Facebook user, you just tag photos from your albums or those you have access to, and they will automatically be added to a DailySmile "Photo Queue." Photos from that queue are then automatically delivered to your Presto user one per day.
For people who don't use Facebook, just upload photos from your computer at the Presto DailySmile website ( http://www.PrestoDailySmile.com ) and they likewise will be delivered one per day.
Facebook users who use Facebook Mobile will be able to add photos to their queue from their cell phones. And, you can even subscribe to certain albums which will post any added photos directly to the DailySmile Photo Queue.
It's tremendously easy to set up a week's, month's, or year's worth of photos and once you set it, you can almost forget it (because you get daily delivery confirmation emails and an “out of photos” alert email).
Since many people under a certain age primarily use Facebook to stay in touch with friends and family, Presto DailySmile can go along way in connecting grandkids and their grandparents. And it's free!
Visit http://www.PrestoDailySmile.com and sign up now. See how easy it is to keep the love flowing to your Presto user.

Here are ten reasons to get a Presto computerless email system for your grandparents this Holiday season:
1. It will let you contact grandma or grandpa when you really don’t have time for a 30 minute phone call.
2. You can eliminate excuses from extended family members for not staying in touch with the grandparents.
3. You can send digital photos to "gran" so you have something to talk about the next time you see her.
4. It's easy to send a list of important dates and events (birthdays, graduations, etc.) so grandma and grandpa don’t forget.
5. You can finally create and deliver Google map directions by email when they call to ask how to get somewhere.
6. You can also forward an authoritative article that proves to Grandma that you were right all along.
7. You are able to give the gift of bragging rights over their neighbors in the retirement village by sending same-day photos of their grandkids doing something spectacular.
8. Buying Presto for grandma and grandpa as a gift this holiday will save the family from enduring more “You never call” guilt trips.
9. You will make your grandparents the envy of all of their friends.
10. And finally, in finding the perfect gift for grandma or grandpa, you are also finding the perfect gift for you and the rest of the family, because you will never again need to get photo prints from the drugstore and send them via U.S. Mail. In fact, you can snap a photo with your iPhone, and email it to Grandpa who will get it a few hours later. And for grandma, how cool is that?
