iSyndica Interview With a Stock Photographer

With only 5 of 14 questions not involving your use of iSyndica, this strikes me as more of an ad for an uploading service than it does an interview about you as a photographer. Given the recent attitude towards 'spammish' content here, be prepared for this post to get jumped on.

Edit: It might have been more appropriate to use this link instead.

I agree, it's SPAM.

I read their FAQ. FTP isn't good and secure, yet they are using it to distribute photos everywhere. They want to have their proprietary API for uploading.

I might try to submit few files so I can give honest feedback.

I am not in a good mood. I have no Guinness. $:-\$

At least post it in the right section so we can ignore it easily.

Oh well sorry guys, I was just excited that I had tried it and they interviewed me, sorry if you felt it inappropriate

I have never been interviewed before so maybe it made me feel special and I wanted to share it, thanks for taking that from me (j/k)

Awwww, I feel mean now.
We have been inundated with Spam lately. You picked the wrong week!

I'm also enjoying my cold Guinness batman, and I'm also in a great mood, since I'm leaving to the Florida Keys for the weekend in a couple of hours, but I'll bet you're not having your daily SPAM sandwich...Oh! sorry, my mistake, you just did by reading this thread.

Have a great weekend guys, girls.

They have a place on the site for feedback. They really are interested in hearing everything you have to say so go for it!

Did I miss iStock? Meaning you think I made this site? I hope not because I am not the developer etc... LOL if you meant did "they" miss IS? I don't know much about it but you would have to ask them =)

I still have to upload to IS through Aperture as always...............

rofl, you just wait till batman and flemishdream get going!

they work in tandem , like a tag team . i 'm surprised Flemish isn't here yet; he must be shooting some more male porn self portraits !

I am using free account. Tried to upload files on my Linux desktop and it does not work properly so I switch to Windows machine and it worked. It look it was quite fast with 4 files. It spread these files to 4 agencies (free account). Now what? Is it going to give me view/sale reports for these files? So far it's online version of Filezilla :-)

I just noticed this ~~thread~~ threat now.

It's a new one but it has been here before after ~~spamming~~ unveiling a new service at SS, not iS.

A glorified Filezilla that asks money, was the conclusion then. Of course, it was to be expected they would ~~spam~~ inform us more. Woohoo! They didn't even pay for an ad on MSG? Woohoo!

~~What changed? A new user with the name of a Hurricane. Did she write a book on Ego-Rythm? Will you get a free bottle of snake oil signing up? Woohoo!~~
Ah, let's be nice for a moment.

You'll have to excuse me now. I got this great proposal from a Nigerian banker by email, and I definitely have to answer it.

Don't ya just love ignorant assumptions and namecalling?

Like I haven't heard THAT ONE before about the Hurricane......... Oye Vey......... grow up will ya?
