I know there are several services alike but normally this services don’t allow personalization or the ads placed on the widget don’t go along with users idea of fair use of ads. Wigitize is different! Oh and by the way… here’s the API.

Invitr is self-described as the only feature that Flickr still lacks so it can achieve perfection. Invitr allows you to specify one (or more) private pictures to be shown to as many/little people as you want. Think of an extension of the Public, Friends, Family and Private status. All you have to do is login into your Flickr account and allow the Invitr connection. After that, simply select the photos you’d wish to share and fill out the email address field. Set the expiry date and the person you specified will receive an email with a unique link to view the selected photos.

Just don’t forget that though URL sent to each e-mail address is a unique URL there’s no guarantee that the same address won’t be distributed by the email recipient, transforming a private photo in a…public one.

Happy sharing.

Wallpapermaker is a free service you can use to produce your very own and personalized wallpapers trough an extremely easy to use interface and without the need of any additional graphical application. You can use several backgrounds, ornaments and hilarious characters like Homer Simpson or David Beckham.

Though interesting enough for anyone to try, Wallpapermaker presents itself shorter than it should. By not permitting users to add their own images or any other object, the service is too restrictive for my personal taste and probably for yours. Still, I insist, interesting enough to give it a try. Compatibility issues with some IE versions may also be in the list of reasons that will transform Wallpapermaker in an even more ephemeral success.

Happy creations.
