It took them 8 months to come up with that answer ?!!
Unbeleivable!

Thanks for starting this thread!

Name of Site:  JENEimages

URL:  http://jeneimages.com

Content:  Largely weighted towards the landscape/travel  categories with a smattering of everything else. The site is still in its infancy, as more images will continue to be added to the library.

Well its designed to have that option to opt in or opt out - so everyone is free to choose

However, there is something to be said about the namesake of the site - based on symbiosis - you benefit from me and I benefit from you

Try not to get too worked up about trivial matters, just concentrate on your site, and link with people that are like-minded with you. The rest will have to take care of itself

can't access your site to check it out.

and how does this work for commissions?

I have a feeling this might be their swan song

Thanks for the news Jim.  I think this would have slipped by most of us.

The sounds like Shutterstock entrace into the German market was quite well timed.  For better or worse...

I think Shutterstock management is very business savvy when it comes to these kinds of things - they have the pulse of the industry and know whats going on, so it isn't mere coincidence that they have opened up an office in Berlin. If and when FT folds, SS will already have a foothold to take on the clients of FT.

Lets just hope that somewhere's down the line, they dont become like every other micro and squeeze the life out their contributers. Anyhoo with the way things seem to be going I am glad I am on my way to set up my own shop through Symbio

we..are..not...a... cult....we...are...not...a..cult.......huummmmmmm......

Maybe be sure to get some legal agreement with your girlfriend. Breakups can be costly. (NOT suggesting anything personal - I don't know you or her; talking from life observation.)

Why on earth did the posts later in that thread accumulate so many negatives?

Probably beacaus eMisterElements is a DP fanboy

Only 150 or 170? I thought the list had 200+ something sites in the network?

There are currently 158 sites in the Symbiostock network and it is gaining momentum.

You can see how many sites there are at the bottom of the following URLs:

Christine "I can't help either I eventually just accepted that people using IE will not see the colours in my site as I do not think this will affect sales."

Redneck "I'm on version 5.2.12. Your version should work, too. I guess the white screen error is caused by something else."

Lusoimages "I've just conducted a few searches on my website and in the symbiostock page and I've detected something that got me worried.

I've noticed that when a keyword is composed by two words it's ignored by the search."

marthamarks "However, I do have to say this:  symbiostock-search.com redirects to this:

http://cascoly.com/symbio/symbiostock-network.asp

I find that a very confusing and unattractive page to look at and use. I'm reluctant to send any potential buyers there, to be honest."

Symbiostock_Newbie "One of the images I uploaded recently won't process for some unknown reason. It seems to process, but then when I go to "all images" it doesn't show up there. When I go back to "process uploads" the image is back there again awaiting processing!"

Snap Vectors "Hello. I've had three purchases on my site since yesterday. However, all three customers emailed me right after the sale, and said they couldn't see how to download their file."

Flawless

Symbiostock is still very much in its infancy - in fact all the big guns in the stock industry had to start from scratch, with one of the biggest ones today being started in the creators little apartment he lived in.

"DON'T DESPISE THE DAY OF SMALL BEGINNINGS"

People learn along the way in any building endeavor, and there are mistakes, glitches, obstacles, challenges, but anything can be overcome and worked out with time and effort. In fact ALL websites continue to be works in progress, and ALL experience hicups from time to time.

I think Symbio has created interest at the very least at this point, and its only going to continue to increase in momentum. Sure the contributors are relatively small in number with only a fraction of images available than the big guns, but it is increasing every month.
The thing I have noticed is that each contributor is very proud of their own site whether it is relatively simple or has a greater wow factor, and to belong to a community of like-minded content providers. This is what makes Symbio sites different and a unique place for buyers to have an alternative buying experience.

Sure Batman always gets the spotlight - but don't discount the importance of Boy-Wonder.

remember - "DON'T DESPISE THE DAY OF SMALL BEGINNINGS"

Here is my first ever blog on my symbiosite - its a review on camera sling strap.

I tried not to be too wordy, while providing enough detail to be informative.

What do you think?

Why dont you go to symbiostock.org and ask in the forum there - actually there is a member thats from SA also his name is Jo , it may be good to ask him how he has set up his payment system

The RM option is there !!

Is it there with the base Symbiostock setup  or do you have to get the upgrade package Ron?
