Recently Arian, the Mostphotos CEO posted on their forums an official statement about what they acheived in 2011, and where they are going in 2012.
I have written up a blog post on it, but in summary here is what he said (copied from my blog)...
Recently the Mostphotos CEO Arian Bahrami wrote a forum post detailing the direction for the company for 2012. This was a most welcome update, with many contributors becoming a little frustrated at the lack of sales and news on updates. I have been a contributor to Mostphotos for a couple of years and have seen some significant and welcome changes. As an agency they do seem to be interested in growing and keeping fresh, so any news on coming developments can be taken seriously. In short, he outlined the following things:
Mostphotos Update – 2011 Achievements
Improved online customer shopping experience
Localisation improvements
An image request feature
Organisation support and collections
Mostphotos Update – 2012 Goals
Implementing a vastly improved search system with “some unique filtering options”
Target the Scandinavian market more fully
Focus on the contributor experience and interface with “new, interesting and useful features”
Push their monthly bundles, as this has been their major selling point
