I think he means a stock site. This is the first I've heard of 'em, I think.
The real question is do they have any sales.

Hi, Merry Christmas,

I have a few photos with this site for about six months now. with one sale of $1.28 off a very small portfolio. They seem "okay" for me.

As they showcase a "camera clubs" tie in on the home page, I can't see the appeal here to serious buyers. It seems like stock "and a whole bunch of other crap". Also the photosharing thing just amateurish from a business perspective.

BTW have nothing against camera clubs, but if a buyer is searching for a new buying portal, it could be easily assumed that the stock area is full of hobbyist stuff. Very poor marketing here if they are serious about selling stock.

I guess there is only so many ways you can make a logo out of rainbow coloured shutter leaves, but it does look very much like the shutterpoint logo!

the domain is 'privately registered' ...hmmmm
