Ben Nelson joined soon thereafter as corporate development operations lead, to become CFO and later president. Suneet Wadhwa was the visionary behind Snapfish, currently working as Director of PayPal. He won the “Internet’s Rising Star” award and the “Most Innovative Business Model” award for his contribution towards Snapfish.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.linkedin.com/in/suneet )〕 In 2005, Snapfish was bought by HP. While HP did not disclose the acquisition sum, a Merrill Lynch report estimated that HP may have paid between $300 and 400 million for Snapfish, while Snapfish’s revenue was less than $100 million.〔 Snapfish co-founder Raj Kapoor confirmed in a 2011 interview that the acquisition price was $300 Million. In 2004, Snapfish opened a physical retail concept store in Alexandria, Virginia, but they later closed the retail store.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.snapfish.com/snapfish/release8242004 )〕 As of 2007, Snapfish claimed to have 40 million members and to host 1 billion digital pictures. In June 2008, Snapfish stopped its image hosting service, but as of January 2013, images stored on Snapfish can still be directly linked from other websites. In August 2013, Snapfish announced on their local website (and through a mailing to members) that they are shutting down the service in the following countries : Belgium, India, The Netherlands and Spain. They advised existing users to use Pixum and Photojaanic as a replacement service. In April 2015, HP reached an agreement to sell Snapfish back to District Photo. Under the terms of the sale, HP allowed the company to continue to use its printing services. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Snapfish」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
