Yes, I too love Pictory. I can’t help but note I concept tested the (almost) exact same idea a couple of months ago. See here: http://pixtories.com (even a similar name!). All worked well and got great feedback on it so I was gearing up to do a proper execution (ie not Posterous)… when several of my friends/colleagues sent me the Pictory Mag site with some bemusement :). Seriously though, the design and layout and ‘themed’ approach which Pictory delivered is quite exceptional and is a great example (hopefully not just to me!) that LOADS of the concept IS in the execution. Not to mention, you’ve gotta move extra quick in this day and age when an idea is pretty much worthless until its proper realisation.

(Poor guy. Naturally there’s room for both of us! I should mention that for months I had mini-freakouts thinking the same had happened. “AH! Smithsonian just launched a ‘Bigger Picture’ blog! Oh wait but it’s not like Big Picture. Whew.”)
