Title: Vivozoom anyone?
Post by: Artemis on August 01, 2009, 17:21: I thought it looked pretty promising at first, definitely seeing who the founders are/were... but the dead silence for months now, while it's supposed to be launched makes me "slightly" worried.
what do you think?
Another one down the drain, (before it even started!) or still betatesting and promising?
I wonder....

Post by: Artemis on August 01, 2009, 22:38: Darn, if they launched already they have done a pretty good job staying under the radar; haven't seen them advertising anywhere so far...plus as contributor i even didn't know they did!

I had 5 sales there (i suspect test sales) all in april for $0,36 each.
Pretty dissapointing thus far :(

Post by: sharpshot on August 02, 2009, 04:35: I did upload a few but there are lots of new sites trying hard to get buyers and I haven't seen anything happening with vivizoom yet. What motivation do we have to continue uploading?

Post by: oboy on August 04, 2009, 18:38: only three downloads all in April

However if someone is buying from them they aren't buying my images.

Correct. Their framework and/or coder is sub-par. That's what made me stop uploading a year ago.

Yes, you'll have 800 photos, and no downloads in 17 months.

Ha! Just kidding ;)

Post by: PeterChigmaroff on November 06, 2009, 11:32: I had great hopes for this site. They had a good idea with the guaranteed photos but of course being a good idea iStock and others have decided to follow suit. As it stands Vivozoom will go down the road of obscurity soon enough. They may have been there all along.
