Title: minimialist descriptions
Post by: fintastique on October 07, 2006, 01:24

Just to let you if you hadn't noticed BS have joined DT in having a minimum number of words for the description which in my opionion are as much use as categories.

So DT want five words (make sure they aren't the same five words as the title)

BS want 7 words in their description

I wonder if FT will follow suit?

It's a very stupid thing at least, although I think the Shutterstock approach is not much better. Just let people describe their own images. Sometimes you want to describe it good, because there's an interesting story to tell. Other times it's just a WYSIWYG photo.

If we put "What you see is what you get" in the description that is 7 words  - pproblem solved!!!
