    ImageKind is this cool website released recently by Kelly Smith (a friend of mine) and others.

    If you read the "The Long Tail" you'll understand what I'm talking about. This is just a few of the reasons I think this will be a successful Web 2.0 company, in no particular order:

1. From day one, they understood the revenue model;
2. They are empowering all artists, professional or not, to create their own web-based art gallery and sell it directly to customers.
3. They totally enable the "long tail" effect (very low cost of carrying millions of items).
4. They understand the space (Adrian has a framing business).
5. I exchange many emails with Kelly while they were building ImageKind. They put a lot of effort into creating a great user experience.
6. They are creating a business eco-system (think eBay).
7. Kelly gets things done;

    Enough said.
