Collaborative Photo Scrapbooks

Our son just graduated from a school that goes from kindergarten through 8th grade. A lot of the kids in his class have been together since kindergarten. The parents decided it would be really nice to create a memory book for the graduates with photos and stories compiled over the past 9 years.
What sounded like a very nice gesture turned into a major project, with parents digging through boxes of photos and other mementos, bringing them in to get scanned, and endless meetings and design sessions. Ultimately we came up with a very nice product.
But we had only known about this web site it would have been such a painless project. SharedBook is an online collaborative website where family and friends can work together and add photos and text and create their own published book.
They have several prepared templates for books on AYSO, Little League, New Baby, with several more planned. An 8.5” x 11” book with 30 pages is only $27.
This is one of the more interesting and useful Family 2.0 sites I have found. Please check them out.
The sharedBook link you have posted is broken. This one should do the trick: http://www.sharedbook.com/index.html
Thanks Steve. It should be working now.
