My nephew Hugh is one and a half years old and lives in Australia, where my wife is from. She was recently there, and took some really fun photos and video clips of him, his parents, and gunga [grandma in Aussie slang]. After coming back to Seattle, she dropped them into a Smilebox and emailed them to Hugh and her Aussie family. Hugh is now in love. We were told he asked to play it 4 times [apparently, he quite enjoys watching himself in the videos]. He also loves the Hoops & Yoyo characters that are part of the Smilebox design, commenting on the photos and videos and making funny sounds. It is hard for us living so far away from home – Priscilla is from Australia I am from Greece, and we live in Seattle. But knowing that we can share precious family moments such as Hugh’s ongoing adventures while he grows into a boisterous little boy makes us feel like part of us is there and makes living away from home more bearable. We are actually expecting our first baby ourselves this coming February, and as a first-time dad I am already thinking of all the ways I can share the little one’s adventures with our loved ones back home using Smilebox: announcing the baby’s arrival, sharing slideshows with fun characters capturing simple everyday moments, creating a scrapbook of the first year’s best photos. That’s what I love most about Smilebox: It connects me with the people I care about, no matter how far away they live from me. And, if I am as smart as my nephew Hugh, I can just play it again, and again, and again. Yannis
