In my second installment (read 1st) of Real Life Software I introduce Presto. I stumbled upon Presto through SiliconBeat and it looks like a very promising entrant to the photo web services realm. Now this isn’t just your latest installment of a web 2.0 photo swapping service. It’s real life software that helps real people use technology, not just us geeks.

From their latest news clip:

“Presto Services Inc. today announced plans to develop a new digital delivery service to help families and friends stay connected by making it easier to share digital content. Presto’s debut offering will include the Presto Service and a printing mailbox, developed by HP, designed primarily for the country’s 78 million baby boomers and their parents. Presto will allow those who do not use computers, or who are light computer users, to receive photos, email and more from their families and friends. To fuel this market push, Presto has secured $10 million in venture funding from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Clearstone Venture Partners.”

Essentially it lets you, a geek, help your non-geek family and friends share digital photos. By partnering with HP printing the two companies have developed an intersting content delivery mechanism that allows your grandmother to print from an inbox she does not even know about. You set everything up, they push a button on a printer. Now that’s easy.
