Well I couldn't in good conscience vote for mine.  ;)  So I voted for Lee's MSD site.  BUT - it's a microstock feed right?  Add them all - none of us update like 10 times a day. hehe

(And I hope you do enjoy reading Niltomil enough to add it)

Ok Matt, in retaliation I'm voting for N2M!  >:(

I love how you're so aggressive and you don't care who you upset! ;)

Honestly I think the microstock blog market is still wide open. You can count on one hand the number of blogs which are:
- focussed on microstock
- properly registered and hosted (not free blogspot or wordpress blogs)
- updated regularly
- writing more than just news updates

Microstock as a market is still growing and blogging is gaining more exposure and acceptance. The opportunities are clear and there's lots of space for more than the current offerings. But who cares about all that, it's LOTS OF FUN!!

Ah  ah I voted for MD too:)
I think also that  MS blogs are on the rise especially in Eastern Europe (Poland for example).
I am curious Lee what are your top 3 blog visiting countries ?
Excluding France (I blogged from there), my top 3 are US, Slovenia, UK)

I am Polish so I checked some microstock sites there and there are in various stages of infancy right now  ;D Most of them struggle to get site and services up. Only few got GUI in more languages at this moment.  I signed to 3: buy-photo, stockplus, shutterplanet. Only the first one got FTP up and running :)
