if the news was coming directly from istock it would be spam i agree, but i have the site up to automatically scan the istock page for news, and when it pops up on the istock site, a few minutes later it pops up here.

A friendly service to inform the microstockgroup users of news in the industry

so far it is only working for istock and dreamstime.

Hey Bryan.... how can you be at MacWorld, reviewing submissions, handling administrative domain crisis... posting on MSG... are you really just one person?  Do you ever sleep?

"Ha!  Pixart, I ask myself this everyday. " --
--If you are really 2 people or if you get to sleep today?

BTW, I get the impression that a lot of us on this board are really rooting for LO and appreciate the fact that you do not attempt to be anonymous.   Hopefully when LO is a huge success your team will still be known for the personal touch!

Madeleine and Pixart- I've worked on these 60 start-ups in a consulting capacity.  They've rented my brain   Zazzle, ClickTracks, Photobucket, etc. I've helped a number of companies make a lot of money- but it's always a team effort.

LuckyOliver is my baby. We're building the business one day at a time and putting the pieces in place that will enable this company to have a long life. It's not about getting in and out- it's about creating a place that people will continue to learn, find great photos, make money and have fun.  We're committed to supporting our photographers and helping them make money. It won't work any other way.

It's really great to see the contributions Carnies have made to LuckyOliver- it's our job to create more opportunity and sales. I go to bed every night thinking about the next day- you can ask my wife - I'm obsessed with building off our momentum (by the way, she is a sweetheart for dealing with me). Hopefully you can see that same energy in our entire staff. My family, however, still doesn't understand why I sit in front of the computer so long.

And yes, I love my job- though I can probably do without domain issues...
