paidContent reports that American Greetings (parent company of John Sands) is paying $45 million to acquire Webshots, a big photo sharing site. I can see good synergy between the two businesses. I’d expect more acquisitions by card companies as they pursue online opportunities.
It could be an interesting opportunity for amateur photographers, I imagine American greetings would often include photos on their product and potentially they could buy a photo from someone off webshots to use on their product.
