I wonder how much cheering and back-slapping goes on at SS and DT and the like when this keeps happening to IS...  Grin

Interesting...while IS was down, Thinkstock's entire front page was redesigned.

Also interesting...Anonymous was in the middle of implementing a huge attack against high-profile SOPA/PIPA supporters at the same time IS went down.  Although Getty/IS weren't mentioned in their release, gotta wonder if a rogue hacker got a hold of IS tonight.

Interesting that one of ThinkStock's selling points is "simplicity". Wonder who they're trying to differentiate themselves from?

If I had to guess, this is insider thinking from some Getty folks - it's simpler than RM license pricing or their main site with both RM and RF plus a pile of collections. This ignores the fact that there are a bunch of other micro sites out there that are equally simple. If you were comparing SS and TS, I don't think you'd find TS "simpler".

They really need to get an appropriate professional business-like "out of order" page. Current page(s) are a joke!

No, I was wondering if they were trying to lure iStock customers who were baffled by the myriad options there.
