there's an interview in the business section of the New York Times with Jon Oringer. Nothing earth shattering, but it does gives some insight into why he may in fact do things a bit differently from the Istock investment bank zombies. At least we can hope. I have to say I have a great deal of respect for what he's accomplished.
Google search " Jon Oringer NYT " and you should see the article. I won't post a link because you'll get slammed by the paywall, but if you do the search thing you should be able to read it.

Interesting read.... gave me things to think about

I saw that article/interview yesterday and wasn't impressed - it seemed extremely unfocused. I think Shutterstock's story is an interesting one - though this didn't tell it.
I found the comments about old Perl code interesting here...

Well I don't know much about perl, but I like that he still has an attitude of a startup company. I contrast this with Istock, the world of timeservers and clock watchers. I was not involved with microstock from the beginning, so I don't know much about Bruce, other than that he walked away rather early, and is now attempting to make lightning strike twice. I don't see Oringer making that mistake.
