Title: tuweimei.com Anybody heard of them?
Post by: NYTumbleweeds on March 03, 2009, 00:05

Just curious if anyone is familiar with them because they downloaded one of my images off of FT. Just find it odd that a site which I understand after reading translated text is an RF stock site. Why would they download images from FT? ???

Looks like an affiliate of Fotolia.

I entered some keywords in English and I was surprised to find some of my images with my username (GeoPappas).  I then clicked on my username and they had they exact same # of images that I have accepted on Fotolia.

Hi,
I found some of mine there (funny to see my name surrounded by chinese characters):
my author number is the same as in FT, and the image preview address is something like "http://wl.static.fotolia.com/jpg/00/09/73/15/400_F_9731525_BNRoCV4uVfSo1GkXdoSF1EkGdkW1NBzO.jpg", so I guess they're another Fotolia reseller..

BTW, do we have a list Fotolia resellers? Shouldn't we?

I first thought affiliate also which is what made even more curious as to why they would pay for one of my images (or anyone else's potentially)? It may be legit I just don't know yet.

edit... I also tried to do a keyword search for my images but only got a pop up in the language I can't read.
