Looks awesome, but I tried to sign up for the beta, entered in my email address as greeted with a prompt saying that it failed to add me because it thought I had already signed up. I click "OK" and the tab I had open closed.

This is cool. Made me finally change away from my default OSX wallpaper.

So what does it do? I can't find it anywhere on the website. It syncs Wallpapers through Dropbox? How is this different from me just chucking my Wallpapers folder on Dropbox anyway?

You can browse the site and add/remove wallpapers from you collection with one click.

Also you could upload your entire wallpaper collection, to the site and then remove them from your collection, only keeping the wallpapers you want to see at any one time. It's useful if you've got a lot of wallpapers and a limited dropbox size.

I think you guys should play up the "discovery" side of this product too. Initial impressions are good, wish there were some way to remove duplicate pictures at the selection page though (more control in filtering by resolution ought to cover this)

Yeah, I think we need to think about that some more. The duplicate wallpapers are a bug that we don't know how to fix. They have different dimensions, so its hard for us to figure out if its already in our database.

This is the best thing since varied width sliced bread.

Also loving the chrome plugin to display new wallpapers as time goes on, with my screen saver suddenly showing interesting images.

This is really cool. It's easy to jump on every day and add a few new wallpapers to my rotation.

Wicked - that is all.
