    Picoshot has been down atleast the last two days :( and this is not the first time this has happened. I am going to give websnapr and snapcasa a try.

      The owner of Picoshot had to let the servers go offline for awhile, but ShrinkTheWeb has stepped in to revive the service. We are now providing and donating the server resources required to keep it running.
