Has anyone heard of "fotonity?"

It seems Ft has another "secret" partner.  A FT user posted this several days ago:

Why do they keep partnerships secret?  Isn't being "visible" the idea in marketing?


Peter

they are not secret. also, FT is not obligated to announe all partners. There are at least 50 such partner sites, so dont get excited each time you find one. It is a good thing, more exposure for our images.

I agree, Peter.  "More exposure" was my point.  So why NOT expose your exposure?

A very unprofessional site.  Despite selling FT images, they have links for IS, DT, SS...  Possibly GoogleAds or something like that, but still, if I were FT I would not like that.

Peter,

This site at least makes it clear they are associated with FT.  Pixmac, for instance, wasn't so clear, and we get uncomfortable that some obscure site may be reselling images without authorization.

Regards,
Adelaide

I have to agree with Adelaide. When I went to the site there were "single" ads for Asian women.

Not very professional.

Any microstock site which has ads for other sites is not professionnal IMHO  ;D

Are you sure this is a "partner site" and not one of their API portals?  I doubt they'd even know everytime one of those went live.
