Title: Only Moments Away?
Post by: STJ on February 22, 2009, 20:54

Have any of you seen this? I wonder what could be only moments away lol.

Plus on their twitter update they mentioned  "Heads up to all contributors, this will be good *wink*"

Anyone know anything about it?

There likely is some announcement, but the post is really a ploy to get the Twitter followers up.

Well they needed to do something to compensate for the lack of sales on 123RF, I'm not Inmagine is going to be the magic cure, I've been with them on the macro side of things and sales are non-existent there, I stopped uploading ages ago and in fact I was toying with pulling all my images off and putting them elsewhere.

 Yeah me too.. Although I am baffled by the lack of sales since their alexa traffic is WAY higher than Alamy or Age, actually it is right up there with corbis and jupiter.. I don't understand how they can have all that traffic and be lacking in the sales..

OK Wow. Price range from 59$ to 800$. Now how they could "merge" -include- each others. I hope it's not the same as StockXpert-photos.com association. I won't sell extended licence at subs price again  ???
