A new photo opportunity, or is it a printer opportunity?

I was reading Photojojo over lunch today and I came across this great picture challenge, the photo chain letter. Whilst it's a great idea for photography, it would also be a great idea for a photo printer manufacturer. I'm really impressed with this neat idea, if you're in my address book watch out for the email chain letter coming to you soon! 

Can you imagine what Canon, Epson or HP could do with this? They make money every time we hit the print button, so a nice viral campaign to encourage printing would be good for them for sure. Thank you photojojo for a great tip.

I also have to say I've just seen the new Calumet photo magazine - Calumet focus - with the new Hasselblad H3DII-50MP. A heap of resolution, and a heap of money. Maybe the interesting Hasselblad sweetener of trade in your old DSLR with 16 to 21 MP for up to 3,600 pounds off the price is an indicator that Hasselblad is really after Canon, probably the EOS-1Ds products have been hitting the Swedes hard. Strange that a few pages later there's an article featuring fashion and hair photographer Trevor Leighton and his comment that the EOS-1Ds Mark III is working fine for him.
